#2 Learning New Languages...

Ok I don't get very far with this, but I do like learning new languages and especially funny phrases. And it helps me to connect with people more, so why not? Also hope one day I would divinely just understand what the people around me are saying...Below follows a list of words and phrases I know in the languages I know, to be added as I go along (please excuse the spelling mostly learnt by ear)...By the way me posting this on here is also to remember what I learn...
