Not to spoil your post (spam all you want, it's alright with me ), but this forum is actually for the english speaking. Now there's nothing wrong a topic or two in your native language (a French bar, a Greek bar, a German bar, whatever your tastes ) but if you are going to transform this entire forum into a French one, I'll be forced to take courses... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo
But I'm sure that's not what you're planning to do, now is it?

Ah well...
C'est la vie. Au revoir! (cliché, cliché...)

Speaking the Roman language is difficult.
*AHEM* You ALMOST got the last part right! ROFL! For you, I'll translate:

Yes, I speak French, but I am not French, I am German. I am learning it (French) at school since three years. I also speak English, German and a bit of Latin, but I don't speak Greek. One question, Moiraine - do you say "je parle grec" or "je parle le grec"? I don't know.

Does anyone here speak German? After all, people here speak French, Spanish, Greek and English, so some should also speak German. I'm waiting...

I also speak Latin (literally "the Roman language"), but it is difficult.

Watch it, Kaz! You've now been bitten by the 'Hiram' bug. You may need a shot!

Oh, and one of my favorites (takes me back, this one does...)

"Sur le pont d'Avignon,
L'on y danse, l'on y danse,
Sur le pont d'Avignon
L'on y danse tout en rond.
Les beaux messieurs font comme ça
Et puis encore comme ça.
Sur le pont d'Avignon
L'on y danse tout en rond."

We always called it "Lingua Latina". I agree about the difficulty. I still don't know "yes" or "no" I had an easier time with samoan, korean, japanese, mandarin, german, spanish, tagali, and New Jersey. I know enough of those languages to bother people but not to converse.

I hope I wasn't too much of a pest.

I learned that one during my first week of French class. Didn't understand a word back then, though...

For all those who want to know, I speak Dutch best, then English. Besides that I can express myself in German and also in French (though my German is a lot better than my French) and I can also speak a word or two in Norwegian (but I don't know if it's ni-Norsk or ehr.. the other one, nor can I spell. I CAN read pretty good, though)

I also know a Nisse song in Norwegian (Hurrah!)
