Hello Italian and welcome! It seems we got a wide variety of languages in here. My only mistake in the poll is that it seems other European languages are more popular here than French and Spanish!

English is may native language. Broken spanish and french (I did french A Level but can't remember it...shame :cry: ) Although I'm half Cypriot and did all those boring Greek classes back in the UK I'm pretty hopeless. I'm now taking Greek lessons again. I think education is wasted on the young. You don't realise how useful these things will be in the future.

Ya sou!

A Turk living in Bulgaria with an English flag as his logo, and he speaks a freaky Norwegian dialect from the mountains? My God :!:

Thank you. From all the languages I am proud for the Greek because as the slogan goes in London

TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE EXIST THE GREEKS AND THOSE THAT WANT TO BE GREEK

Greek is my native so I hope I can speak and write more than reasonably, even though lately except for on the phone with my mom and a bit with my daughter havent had a lot of practice.
English as good as my greek.
French pretty good.
Italian acceptable
Spanish pretty good.
Attempting to learn russian.

Native Greek

Fluent in
English, French and Italian

By the way did you know that one of the most archaic Greek dialects was actually found on the east of the island of Cyprus?
