Hi there, how are we doing for language skills?
I have little Spanish and un petit per French. If they speak very slowly I might understand 1 word in 10. but I do have a multi-lingual finger.
How many of you are multi-lingual?

My fingers can be incredibly dexterous Laughing

I can understand most English et une petit pois francais.

I can speak some German and French, but haven't practiced for years! confused

T has some stock phrases! Spanish: 'Dos cerveza por favour'! (2 beers please), French: 'Tu es mon petit chou-fleur' (you are my little cauliflower!) and the ever helpful German: 'Ich bin verstopft' (I am constipated!). Do you think that will get us round Europe? :?:

lol!

Lu :bom:

I have a loud voice and can point agressively - think Kenny Everett as the preacher with the large hand! lol!

Alternatively, I could send in the Butler come translator before we arrive, whichever suits best really?!

After living in both Germany and Switzerland for a few years I think I can cover off the basic German aspects, especially when it comes to arguing with a Swiss land rover machanic, in a few local Swiss dialects too.

With that said, the Land Rover garage in Basel has a machanic from Yorkshire who is more than happy to argue your point over pricing with the garage owners.

As with BJ, we can probably express ourselves suitably in Italian if the locals get a bit over-friendly!

And, if anyone is interested in viewing any properties in France, I'm fairly up on the technical terms there too...
