Thanks for the suggestion. I've heard of Horslips and probably heard some of their music but don't really remember it. I'll have to take a listen.
As to Runrig, there's some experimental, sort of proggish stuff opening the album Mara - but not enough to make them proggers!
Cheers

Italian (native language)
English (not bad at all, I'd say ![]() French (used to be better, but it's still pretty decent) German (not as good as the former, but OK) Finnish (somewhat rusty after a few years, but when I lived there I got quite fluent) Like most educated Italians, I can understand written and spoken Spanish, and can also speak it to some degree, though I've never had any formal tuition. I also have a smattering of Swedish that I acquired during my stay in Finland (took classes for three years). Anyway, languages used to be my daily bread until 2001, since I was a language teacher for over 15 year (English, then Italian). |

That's not true any more. The majority of young Americans will take Spanish as their foreign language requirement in school. And beyond that, we really don't need anything. That's not snobbery...we hardly ever run into the continental Europeans unless we're on vacation (or when using the internet). |

hahahha.. yeah something like that.... the question is.... which language is it. Half the country speaks English.. and we have those enlightened folks who, like me, studied languages like French and German..... only to find that 20 years later... the French and Germans never invaded and the other half of the country speaks Spanish AND English ![]() |

Most Malaysians, like me are trilingual (our national language = Malay + English + native language).
As for me, I'm an ethnic Chinese, so naturally Mandarin is my mother tongue.
Know a tiny bit of French. Hope to learn it "properly" as well as Hindi and Italian.

LANGUAGES!!!!!
I love languages
My native tongue is English but I speak Greek and German fairly fluenty (I live in Greece and studied German at University), I studied French to advanced level when I was at school and Spanish for two years (though I really can't remember all that much).
Actually I have a strange problem with languages. When I hear music from another country which I really like, I want to understand the lyrics, as I feel that understanding them is really important to appreciating the music. I will go to extraordinary lengths to try to understand them, such as buying a dictionary and grammar reference book. I think it is also partly curiosity.
Actually, it might even be worth starting a thread to see if any other members have had the same experience.
Thinking or changing my login name to "Babelfish" Why didn't I think of this before?

English is my native language. Besides that, I speak German, but I could polish it a bit...or a lot. I'd like to learn Spanish and Arabic as well, so I'll see how that goes. Maybe something else....
