 Re: Languages
If I'm not skewing my facts, I believe Condoleezza Rice speaks 15+ languages.

 Re: Languages
My point was that it's completely possible to learn so many languages. I think if you put time and effort into it, you can become fluent in as many as you like.  Of course, it helps to have a job that puts those into use

 Re: Languages
I believe that Vladimir Putin (former president of the Russian Federation) knows about 6 languages or 4. I don't remember. Oh, and don't even mention some of the Popes, they know lots of languages!

 Re: Languages
DISCUSSION QUESTION What Pig-Latin rules do you guys abide by?
I've always done it by splitting the word before the first vowel, moving that first block of consonants to the end, and then adding ay, with the exception of words which begin with a vowel, in which case the second vowel is used. Words like "and" and "at" which begin with a vowel and have only one remain unchanged.
FOR EXAMPLE Scramble ... Amblescray Attack ... Ackattay Arm ... Arm
Apparently, though, some people operate under the rule "First letter moves to end and ay is added." While simpler, this produces some awkward results.
Scramble ... Cramblesay Attack ... Ttackaay Arm ... Rmaay
SO am I the only one using my ruleset?

 Re: Languages
well I always did it as the first phoneme (group of letters that have a specific sound such as "sh" and "ch" and "sc") goes to the end and add ay, while words that start with vowels just get "yay" added to the end. EX: Scram => amscray attack => attackyay a => ayay
then again, I rarely actually speak pig Latin.

 Re: Languages
I know how to say 'I do not speak Spanish' and 'I do not understand, please speak English' in Spanish, and I know very little Latin despite my having taken three years of it x3

 Re: Languages
Spanish is pretty easy to learn, just remember that adjectives can go before or after the noun depending o. The context.

 Re: Languages
I'm fairly sure that Spanish is one of, if not the, easiest language for English speakers to learn because of the relatively similar pronunciations and the amount of cognates. And, for Americans at least, the amount of exposure to it relative to other languages.
Or maybe it's for completely different reasons I'm not a linguist.

 Re: Languages
Lose the 'merican accent when speaking Spanish. In Spanish speaking countries, they don't care how fluent you are, they will point and laugh if you sound American.

My guess is something about paranormal, and 'Ego est optime' I thing is 'and is optimal, 'Et tu' is right by Tat's guess.
