I HAVE NO TROUBLE COMMUNICATING

I am amazed at the posts here that talk about troubles communicating whilst in Europe. I never have problems. Of course, I am fluent in German, French, Spanish, and Italian, and also conversant in Flemish. I can talk to the natives with no trouble at all, so why can't you people?

Alberto <BR>You are an arrogant ass! Say that fast three times in the language of your choice. Bite me Albie.

I am language challenged. I cannot even speak English properly. How will I make it in Europe?

Alberto - then avoid Britian which seems to be favoured by American tourists who only feel comfortable where english is spoken - sad, but on the bright side means less Americans to encounter while in continental Euope.

I can only speak American! I think the entire world should speak American. It is the best language!

Alberto: I bet the natives are thrilled with your language prowess. Do you shower them with trinkets, too? <BR> <BR>Where's Britian?

To anon--can't wait until you and your children and other relatives visit the U.S. so we can be as welcoming to them as you are to Americans!

Is this guy for real? A troll...must be. If he's real or not...he is definitely an idiot...what a waste of space.

To "average Joe": <BR>Don't worry,most Europeans can speak English and a couple of other languages too. But we dont talk about it - bad taste!

I totally agree with Mika. Actually in Europe,since we don't want people to think we are too proud of our linguistic prowess, we make sure to never speak english or another foreign language when a foreigner is present.
