So...what's your...

Native language?
Do you speak other languages?


Mine is English...okay, it's huckabilly English
No, I do not speak other languages. I know enough French to keep from ordering an escargot. :) :D :eek:

My native language was Baby-gibberish. The body language that goes with Baby-gibberish still works for me. lol

And, really? If you like butter, garlic, and mushrooms, you'll like the taste, and feel, of escargot! They're yummy!

And to prove to you I know good food, hossenfeffer and is close to the same thing as squirrel stew, sunnies are better than bass, but perch are better than sunnies. And catfish? In a class all by itself! Pheasant doesn't come under glass. It comes by the end of a rifle. Quail is good, but only if you can get someone else to pluck them. Young geese and wild turkeys are good eats, but old ones aren't. Not. Ever. On Groundhog. And whereas venison steak is deelish, don't ever make me eat deer ribs again. No meat!

BTW, what's your take on frog legs? Don't they taste like saltless chicken? Ever have snapper soup from a 25-30 pound snapping turtle?

I grew up on Dad's hunting and fishing, but he also taught me escargot is good eats!

I am the rare Asian native English speaker.

I am currently studying French, but only because me and my mom agree that it's easier to learn than Chinese. However, once that's over, I feel like learning Japanese in my free time.

Aren't all Singaporeans Native English speakers?

Wait! I heard redneck and hillbilly were two different things. Hillbilly you're born into. Redneck is a choice.

(If untrue, than I have to nix my redneck ways. :()

Nah, sorry. That's hillbilly.

In redneck, it's mater, not mato.

Hi can be Hi or yo, depending on region of redneckery.

And Buckeyes is just another go-thru state. (Go-thru states -- states people don't mind driving through, but don't set out to live there. Sure, there are already plenty of people living there, but they were either born there or a job sent them there. No one ever intentionally thinks, "Boy! I hope I can move there one day!" And I know this because I was born and raised in another go-thru state -- New Jersey. lol)

Does body language count? :rolleyes:

I'm a native Cebuano (minor) speaker. I speak Filipino, Cebuano, English, Singlish and some Malay, every single day. I listen in on Mandarin speakers but it's all gibberish, my coworkers try to teach me but darn, ni hao and zao shang hao is as far as I can go (don't even ask me to write it). It's in my bucket list though to enrol at a Mandarin school after my current studies. Of course I speak anime Japanese, sugoi!! Watashi wa sugoi desu! :p I learned some Spanish via unofficial language exchange with a rather handsome Spaniard. I don't remember a lot because I spent our classes staring at his pretty face.

When I lived in Joliet, IL, (Northern IL. Rumor has it the south has hills), and riding my bike, I'd whee at every speed bump. They were the only hills, unless you count drainage ditches.

If you remember the movie Paper Moon, (Tatem O'Neil's first acting job and she won the Oscar for it), that's what IL looks like -- black and white included. lol
