Loool YASS. #southiebanter :colone::biggrin:

Are you a proper tamillian?


Haha absolutely :colone::tongue:

Well, I'm not proper proper Tamilian (aka not born in India), but my parents are, so I guess that makes me Tamil too :')

Are you? :smile:
I'm fluent in English, Russian, Romanian and German with a reasonable grasp of French and Greek.
Also, love how this poll omitted such popular languages as Russian, Portuguese, Turkish or Indonesian.

Curious to see how many multilingual people we have here, and what 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th) language you speak :smile:

I was taught French at school- and was so hopeless- I'm really jealous of anyone who can learn languages.


You studied English Literature at uni. :colone: You surely do know more than one language. :teehee:

I'm fluent in Lithuanian and English but that's cause I'm Lithuanian but live and study in UK. Also studied Russian for 5 years but I barely know the basics of that. Not that good with languages.

Sorry, what is shameful? :redface:

I'm sure being a member of the intellectual elite would prevent you from becoming a solitary thinker. :wink:
I speak several languages... I try not to tell people because I feel like a pretentious bastard.
Fluent in English and Spanish, native Polish.
