Jess Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I quite like it because I can say things and no one else can understand...unless you use an online translator I can insult my sister and she's in a state of blissful ignorance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I speak French alot of the time out of habit. It can be quite irritating to my parents who just about know 'C'est la vie'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 ^^ LOL! My parents are getting to know 'C'est La Vie' too....we're going to France this summer and I can understand more French than I can speak, so I know that if someone says something to me, it will be very hard to fight the urge to reply in Italian!

Liz Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've only just realised what that two of my favourite childhood songs translate to (C'est La Vie and Livin' La Vida Loca). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 What does 'Livin' La Vida Loca' actually translate to? Was it a Ricky Martin hit...memory's a bit blurry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yes, it was and (as my friend who studies Spanish informs me) it means 'Living The Crazy Life', which I recently noticed is a actually said in the song. She'll make you live the crazy life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ahhh....I used to *love* Ricky.....*swoons* I can actually speak a little bit of Spanish, but only in so much as it's similar to Italian! But I had no idea what that meant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I speak some French, though I haven't studied it for about a year, so it's slowly seeping away. And I used to know a fair bit of Spanish, but, as with French, once I stopped studying it it slowly slipped away. Currently, I'm very interested in learning Swedish.

Jess Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 ^^ I'm like that too Foxy, I studied French for seven years, so I was pretty advanced....I haven't studied it for a good 2 years now, I can just about say 'Bonjour, je m'apelle Jess' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I love Swedish and Russian, it's so cool and easy to learn. Russian is very hard to learn for me. I've studied it for 4 years and I still can't speak it normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
