I can understand a conversation in Tagalog (Filipino)but not able to speak it, except for a few words. It didn't help that I had parents that each spoke different dialects but was born and grew up in good ole Brisbane!
The good thing is I can understand my aunts/uncles/other relos pretty well
its german for me, although im out of practice

Yeah, that's called receiving bilingualism. It can refer to either someone who can understand a language when it is spoken to them but they are unable to speak it and/or when a person is able to read a language but they are unable to write it. :)Quote:

Heheheh good for you! At least you wont get "sold" when your in Phil's on holiday:D:D. Oh and of course obviously for me - Tagalog dialect.
Hmmm No Indian language in the selection,guess it falls in the "other" does that mean there aren't Indian TF collectors? just a query and out of curio?
What?!? NO Benbenese:p;)
That reminds me of those Leggos ads with Jimmy Barnes and Kate Fisher. :) :DQuote:

Then that would fall under "other." There are hundreds of Australian languages, some of them have become extinct with many others on the verge of extinction. The original language of Sydney is called Dharug or Iyora, originally spoken by the Dharruk people. I have no idea what the original language of Melbourne would be.Quote:
