English only here, although I am well aware of another language quite popular here in SC...not sure if its a recognized language or not but maybe somebody out there can help me out. Its pretty simple. Almost all nouns are preceeded with the word, motherf*****g.

:(

edit ... I do not believe the people who use this language know how to write if thats any help.

I only know how to speak English. I know a few words in Spanish. Being 100% Italian-American, I have picked up some words in Italian from my parents, but very few and some aren't even really Italian, my father says they are in the Sicilian dialect, jokingly... so not even real words.

*LOL* -- Being from South Carolina, I KNOW what J is talking about firsthand!!!!....

Otherwise, I have a hard enough time with English!...J/K ... English is my sole language, and the other language J mentioned when ticked off severely (which usually coincides with some PEOPLE I work with!)

English (obviously) and I've had Italian in Junior High and in High School (in NY). When I moved to NJ I took Spanish. I also had two semesters of it in college. I recognize some Spanish words when I'm reading it. I had alot of fun practicing it when I was down in Mexico on vacation - mostly phrases like "cafe con leche por favor" (coffee with milk please) and other basic words.

Well, I am quite fluent in English :roll: and I took 3 years of French. Unfortunately, during the last 2 years, I had a horrible teacher, so I forgot a lot of what I learned. I'm taking Spanish right now, but only the first year.
