edit: rather, the minimum requirement is 30kb/s and the recommended is 100kb/s for simple calls. Bandwidth use fluctuates between 24 and 128 kb/s

Being able to say one or two sentences in each language doesn't count, dude

I can say several sentences in several different languages but you don't see me bragging about it. Come back when you're fluent in at least ten, maybe then people will think you're king shit.

Besides, best language is ASL no doubt get loud

**Reincarnate** · 06-12-2011, 03:39 PM

I don't think it counts to say you can speak a language until you can have an informal conversation with someone and be able to follow along (or be able to understand basic news/TV programs/movies). You should also be able to get by in day-to-day life without issue in the country of origin.

I find it hard enough to know 3 languages. It's simply impossible to retain that much information about 20+ languages especially when you only use like 1-2 on a daily basis.

**Reincarnate** · 06-12-2011, 06:27 PM

Languages easily fall into the "use them or lose them" category. Our brains are just wired that way, for the most part.

**virus003** · 06-12-2011, 06:28 PM

sorry nerdyest but everyone including myself thinks you're full of shit lmfao

Did you know that my mile time in 5th grade was 13:13? I managed to cut it down to 6:26 by 8th grade and average less than 6 minutes during my cross country meets in high school. But I haven't ran the mile since I quit the team lol.

Did ya know I used to be fat before I started running? In 9th grade I was the heaviest I have ever been, about 180 lbs (I was ~5'8"). Now I'm 6'0" 170.

Mile times: 7th grade- 6:38, 9th grade- 6:24, 11th grade: 5:03
5k times: 10th grade- 20:20, 11th grade- 18:20, 12th grade: 17:46
I received 3 most improved awards between the two sports.

Senior year in track I ran (pun) into knee problems and was only able to match my 5:03. I never broke a 5 minute mile

I have a jar of cloudberry jam sitting in my pantry courtesy of some distant relatives. Cloudberries, as you may or may not know, are unique to certain regions of Sweden.
