  • I don't know any of them entirely. I can carry on a conversation in three or four, maybe six or eight if it's just about the weather or how good the food is. I only use two on any sort of regular basis, though.
  • Unfortunately, I do not know any language other than my mother tongue, but I understand English to some extent. But not too much and I have to work harder. Of course, now that all the training is online, there are online language classes in Chechilas and you can participate.

  • I know some archaic computer languages. Other than that only English. I know a few words in other languages, and a lot of our language was borrowed from other languages anyway. I can speak some words in Spanish that relate to the restaurant industry, but I can't communicate effectively with someone that speaks no English. I can get the gist through translation sites. I would like to learn more foreign languages including sign. And I'd like to learn more current computer languages as well.

      "Per favore, limpiar esta mesa" (please clean this table) was the first useful phrase I learned in Spanish. It was a heck of a lot more useful than "Mi aerodeslizador esta lleno de anguilas" (my hovercraft is filled with eels).

      No. COBOL, RPG, Basic, DBase, Lotus 123... I learned how to ask do you want a meal or just chicken and bread/biscuit. And suggest potatoes and slaw to go with it if they asked for a meal. And when I worked at Hardees Paul told me they don't eat peach cobbler and it takes a whole sentence to say it. haha. I had to buy a Spanish - English dictionary to learn what "aqui" meant. Fortunately Crispy and Original are fairly the same in English. But back then I didn't have access to translation online.
