"What do you call a person who speaks three languages?" "Trilingual." "Right. What do you call a person who speaks two languages?" "Bilingual." "Right. What do you call a person who speaks one language?" "Monolingual." "Wrong. American."
I think the joke actually goes: What do you call a person who speaks two languages? bilingual. What do you call a person who speaks one language? Monolingual. What do you call a person who speaks one language, can't speak or write it that well and won't learn another one? Americanji. As told in Japan.
So true! Sometimes I get jealous of my friends that speak a different language at home :/
ReplyDeleteI don't even like Spanish but it's the most available language to learn in America.
ReplyDeleteYup, that's me. While language learning. Also in the gym ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is very much how I feel about my aptitudes in English, and I'm European. Then again, I'm French. We suck at learning foreign languages.
ReplyDeleteYour English looks good.
DeleteI doubt the French are worse at languages than the British. ;-) We can't even speak our own language half the time.
DeleteI came from Serbia and am living in Barcelona for about 8 years now, Spanish is still pretty hard for me xD
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of this hilarious joke:
