I would not have organised my poll in such a way were I on pravda.ru, of course.
pravda has a political debate site? How unusual.

'Vous avez des seins jolie' would do, just don't expect to get a "merci" after saying it to a girl.
The point is to say it to a girl who doesn't speak French so it sounds romantic. :mrgreen:
What's a way to say it where you would get a merci?
I know that "lemme spank your fanny" is a way in British English to get a date.

You might want to be careful when speaking dirty in British English, it could get you married.
Probably not, unless you're at a BDSM club, fanny has a different meaning in British English.
I found a hundred-fifty or so year old Ancient Greek textbook lying about my grandmother's dungeon of a basement. Opened it, closed it immediately. No wonder the Greeks were so smart! You'd have to be to learn their language. I'm pretty sure that all the Greeks who weren't born with genius IQs either went insane or died of a brain haemorhage trying to speak their first sentence.You can always give it the good ole college try. Give it a few weeks and then stop.

Native English and Yorkshire dialect. Fluent Spanish, good working French, basic German, Turkish, Thai. I can make a few sentences in Dutch and Khmer.
Language learning is a bit of a hobby of mine. I really love doing it. Of all those languages, Turkish is the one I enjoy wrapping my tongue around most; it just sounds great to me.
Other languages I'd like to have a go at learning: a Native American language (Nahuatl or Qechua probably), Hindi and Old Norse. I think they'd all be fun!
Mhm, I have heard of this, although I've never studied it at all. I think it makes sense, though, because I think a more complicated language by its nature will force its users to think harder to command it.You may have been joking but there might actually be a strong connection between the difficulty of a language and the intelligence of the people who use it, as one must remember that we do not merely speak in our native languages but also use them in our thoughts. The more developed the language is the more words there are to offer a solution to our problems.
Likewise, the more languages a person knows the more ways a person has to work towards the solution.

You have been sadly misinformed. Few British girls enjoy anyone hitting their vagina, I'd advise against using this line.
I've known a few that absolutely loved a good fanny spanking.

I speak English only, but I have a smattering of Italian, and I used to know how to say 'nice tits' in French.
And so I ask the people of DebatePolitics:
How many languages do you speak?
Which languages do you speak?
Are they learnt languages, or have you spoken them from birth?
Which languages would you like to speak?
Why do you want to learn said languages?
The poll was a bit tricky to make, and so I ask, on top of answering the poll, to also answer the questions I've listed above.
Cheers!
You need to spruce up. Just in case you go to France.
Or the 50 other nations that speak French. XD
50?
Let's see...
France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Canada, Haiti, (10) Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, (20) Rwanda, Burundi, 2 Congos, Gabon, Cameroon, Mauritania, Seychelles, Comoros, Madagascar (30) Equatorial Guinea, Djibouti, Lebanon, Vanuatu and I'm just about done. Any I've missed? Former French Indo-chinese countries cannot be included as they really no longer use French in any official way whatever.
Sorry, but you awoke Competitive Trivia Geek in me. :mrgreen:
You could just search wikipedia.
