Not talented, but I think it is a necessity
As the matter of fact, I do speak a few languages but Indonesian and English are the two that I am really comfortable with in speaking writing and reading.

How do you say "thank you" in Indonesian ??

Cheers, Vince
#20: Re: Hello I Am New Member............. Author: gelandangan, Location: Sydney AustraliaPosted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 9:52 pm ---- Thank you = Terima kasih
But Vince's "TA" could work too.. if you go to Bali ( which is pretty much an Aussie backyard )
#21: Re: Hello I Am New Member............. Author: Dimitri, Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 10:00 pm ---- Thanks Gelan will have to remember that. Saying thank you in Chinese has gotten me the cute Chinese waitresses number before.

#26: Re: Hello I Am New Member............. Author: OntheLasGallinas, Location: South TexasPosted: Sat Jul 26, 2008 4:52 am ---- gelan,
Down here almost every native Texan speaks Texas English (American English with a different sound) and Tex Mex, to some degree. Tex Mex is a bastardized version of Spanish. Its different from Mexico Spanish, but with the same root verbiage. For example, in Mexico, the word for eggs, means testicles up here.

Author: Bushmaster, Location: Ava, MissouriPosted: Sat Jul 26, 2008 5:43 am ---- I don't know why...I learned a lot of Japanese while I was in Japan...Came in handy while I was there. At least I wasn't a fresh air snipe or an airdale...Never liked bird farms...
#28: Re: Hello I Am New Member............. Author: Dimitri, Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2008 9:43 am ---- I can speak 3 languages (English, French & Greek) and can read and write English properly, I can read French just fine but I cannot spell it right. And with a couple of days of practice I can read most Greek but I will forget it again in a month (don't need to read much Greek).
I know how to say thank you in Chinese and that's about the only thing I can say in any language that I wasn't raised with.
