anything strange always sounds Greek?

My 'mother tongue' is English

I have a modicum of French (rather rusty) and a smattering of German (you know, 'ein bier', 'zwei bier', etc.).

I know about four expressions in Japanese (one of which is, apparently, unrepeatable - so I won't)

Usually I just talk pure Gibberish

Nope still don't know what it is! Chinese? Sanskriet? Arab?

My guess would be hindi (?)

similar to Hindi,but my language is Gujerati.

Gujerati is one of the official languages in India, isn´t it ?

German speaking. GUTEN ABEND !
a little bit english ....
a bit french BONSOIR !
five words in italian BUONA SERA
and some greek , but it took nearly a year to read and write this language, uuufff
KALIMERA

and - as I live near the border to SWITZERLAND and as I work in Switzerland "swiss dialect" GRUEZI MITENAND !
Swiss dialect sounds a bit like a throat disease.....

કેમ છો?

= How are you

I said that to a waiter in a Greek restaurant once, and got a plate of deep fried squid rings

Thanks Muhammad!

Thanks Muhammad!

Gujarati, the 23rd most spoken language in the world.
I did not know it was spoken that much!

Poor Frisian, it doesn't even have a ranking. Not that I can really speak it, can only understand it.

My first language is English, I learnt to speak Dutch when I was 10. I used to be able to speak quite a bit of French and German, but I am very much out of practise. I can understand Afrikaans, but also can't speak it.

Of course I can order beer in almost every language.

My boss is German and when you get into his car he always says furze nicht in auto and opens the windows. I suppose he likes fresh air and wishes he had a soft top.
