Used to speak 4 fluently, now struggle to speak 3!

Spanish, English are my basics

French and Russian are the others.

When I lived in France I was fluent in French too, but went to pot as soon as I got back home and started yakking in Spanish again!

It looks to me as if we have signed another 'average' player. I'll hold back my complete opinion until I see the lad play

I dont have a cat. :P

I'm currently in an extremely large "village" called Liverpool. So I dont think the joke works. ;)

You're all just jelous anyway. I can slag you off and you wont know. Haha. :P

Saeson ::).

I can slag anyone off without them knowing.  I just mutter under my breath  :P

And despite the numerous inacurracies of that joke I think it was quite crap.

Hellooooo people! Very vague question but is there anyone here that speaks a language that drops their g's?

For example: I didn't see nothin' (instead of nothing).
