And that is the extent of my Italian... so, is it right?
It is perfect!
Edit: I am forgetting my Italian. Actually it is not perfect, sorry to break it to you like that In Italian languages go lower case so ti should be "Io non parlo italiano!"

Ich spreche Deutsch nicht gut. Aber ich kann mehr verstehen dann ich sprechen kan, und vielleicht allein weil Nederlandisch so viel an Deutsch glicht.

And I don't even want to think about the number of mistakes in those sentences.

Danke schön, aber dass stimmt nicht Ich lerne jetzt kein Deutsch, und ich vergesse alle... Und jetzt, dass ich Old English lerne, finde ich Deutsch schwerer, weil sie sehr ähnlich sind. Aber Deutsch ist meine liebste Sprache.

I said this to my German friends, and they laughed their heads off:
Ich heisse Arnold, Ich hasse grosse reisege museln.

(Sorry about the hideous spelling.)

Ou sommes les Francais?

Je suis pas française, mais je suis ici, Nurvingiel! Mais tu n'es pas ici maintenant.

Molto grazi (sp?), Wiz! Io... erm, j'ai oublié tout mon italien (et je ne savais pas beaucoup... ) I think I spelt it wrong in French too!

Janny, I'm really not mocking your spelling here, I just found this so funny:

Smouldering? He's on fire in the grave?

C'est très triste, je pense. J'aime beaucoup the français (l'italien est très beau aussi, je souhaite que je peuve le parler), mais je ne maintenant le prends pas. Je ne sais pas pourquoi... le japonais est impossible!

Quote:

Je le pensais, mais je n'étais pas sur. Je peux le parler, pas l'écrire!

"Grazi" looked wrong to me, but I wasn't sure about the E, and molte, well... whoops.

Hm. I tried subjuctive up their with the French, but I think I butchered it completely. ( to high school language classes)

Sehr toll Ich kan nicht viele deutsch. so nicht verwöhnt vie
Though I have had it for almost 3 years, I can not speak very well, and my writing sucks. But next semestre I'm going to take spanish, which I think is much nicer.

I'm slowly losing all my Spanish. I need to practice more.

Hey, Pytt, would you be willing to try to teach me Norwegian?

Yay! Hm. Probably not here, though... Over AIM or MSN, I suppose.

Anyway, est-ce que quel'qu'un veut parler français maintenant? Je voudrais, mais j'ai besoin d'aller Ã* mon classe d'économique. Ick! Je deteste ça classe! Quelle ennuyeuse!
