In response to Fizzy's comment on this post ... I had to admit that speaking other languages is all about me being in control. And being able to communicate ... I can't cope if I can't communicate :: verbally or not to other people ... in 40 years time I'll be that little old lady wandering around the supermarket talking to everyone ... enquiring what you think about the price of onions, chattering to babies in prams ... that'll be me! It'll be the rest of you too, because after all isn't that why we're here blogging? Because we love to communicate?
Anyways ... getting slightly off subject (no change there) ... the first phrase I tend to learn as an adult if I am going anywhere is "a beer and a ham sandwich please*" ... so come on, help me out ... add to my list :o)
French ~ une biere et un sandwich au jambon s'il vous plait
Welsh ~ un beint o gwrw a brechdan o gig moch os gwelwch yn dda
Spanish ~ una cerveza y un bocadillo de jamón por favor
Dutch ~ een bier en een ham te klemmen gelieve
German ~ ein Bier und ein Schinkensandwich bitte
Italian ~ una birra e un panino di prosciutto per favore
*It used to be a beer, a ham sandwich and 200 marlboros but I gave up about 5 years ago.

Morning, I too love to talk and communicate. I chat to anyone on buses and my kids often walk away shaking thier heads with dispair.
Unfortunatley I can not speak an other language except Yorkshire...
Give us a ham sandwich and beer love ( pronounced "luv")
Have a good day Jo
Beware of the Chicken Pox

That's hilarious! When I moved to Montreal, the first thing I learned was how to order a beer and a pack of cigs in French.
Fizzy ~ I'm all for "ive us a ham sandwich and a beer luv!" I have luckily/unluckily already suffered 2 doses of chicken pox ... fingers crossed!
