How many languages can you speak fluently?๐Ÿ˜‚

I can only speak 3 languages fluently: English, Swahili & Kamba. Am currently working on Spanish.

Good morning am a kenyan and it's 0942h- Buenos dias soy Keniana y son 0942h.

I think i got it right.๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Hi, Samuel. It's an interesting. How do use Swahili and Kamba in Spanish stores? ๐Ÿ˜€

 

Good mornin

@Dmytro D what do you mean.

Hi SAMUEL.  Thank you for your interest. I meant like this.

Try to imagine. You know fluently three languages. You come into the Spanish store and start telling them in Swahili and Kamba. They tell you in Spanish you understand, but answer them in Swahili and Kamba, and when they become a little angry you start in Spanish. It's only a little prank๐Ÿค—. What do you think about it?

Hey Dmytro. That would make my day. The reason I like spanish is because my favourite song was sung in Spanish. The first step i took was to understand its meaning in English, Swahili & kamba. 

Pranking someone in kamba language is tricky and interesting also. I'm very proud i know the language since it sounds real.

Using it to someone who does not understand might sound to them as an abuse๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

In fact i have spent 70% of my life using Kamba language.

Thank you for the story. It made me smiled. New knowledge gives us new happy moments๐Ÿค—

I tried listening to your dialog in Google Translator. It's fun. ๐Ÿ˜„

Store manager: Hola

SAMUEL: Ni museo muno tyo iwe๐Ÿ˜‚

Store manager: ?que quieres decir?

SAMUEL: Niko poa labda wewe.

Store manager: ๐Ÿ˜ถ(gets confused) no puedo entender tu idioma. ?puedes usar espanol por favor?

SAMUEL: Wasya ata indi munene nye ndyisi spanishi๐Ÿ˜‚

Store manager: ๐Ÿ™„(Very amazed) No puedo ayudarte porque no entiendo tu idioma.

SAMUEL: (gets angry) Nasya winenge kila ngwenda na ndukambanangie saa!!!!!

store manager: (Angry) vayase o llamo a segurigad

SAMUEL:(smiling)? por que no me llamas?๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It sounds cool ๐Ÿ˜„. I've translated with a dictionary.

Used to be fluent in French but didn't use it for 40 years.  Suddenly, the other night I dreamed in French. No idea why but it was pretty cool.

English and, once upon a time, French and some German. I was fluent in French but 40 years have passed so... Although I recently had a dream in French, which was interesting.

As a Pakistani, I can speak Urdu and English fluently. I also know Punjabi and a little bit of Chinese and Arabic language as I had to study them in my courses.
