Default Spanish, English

Spanish is my native language since I am from Ecuador. I learned English in school over there, but when I moved to NE TN, I realized that I had to learn East TN English in a hurry, as I had a hard time with the accent for a couple of months!

Gentlemen with knowledge of Roman languages - could somebody translate what is written on the hangar behind the fence here http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...d=1#post299899
Just out of curiosity what language it is. It's an airport in Spain. They may have Italian dealership over there.

Talking Catalan

It's Catalan, one of the languages spoken in Spain.

It means: Amateur building school

And by the way, I'm French, speak French and English (been working in the US), read Spanish and Italian.

I also read and write a bunch of computer languages:
Mainframe Assembler (my "native" and still active language)
PL1
APL
Cobol
Rexx
C
But this is not very relevant to RV world, unless maybe when it comes to programming an EFIS

Skoshi nihongo oh hanaseamasu. Daigakusei no toki nihongo benkyo shimasta. Warui gaksi de****a.

(I speak a little Japanese. When I was a college student, I studied Japanese. I was a bad student.)

TODR-san

PS - VAF software doesn't like the Japanese form of the past-tense "be" verb. You can figure out what the **** should be.

Note to self: Never purchase an EFIS written in cobol.

Try it this way:

津腰日本語を話せます。大学生のとき日本語を弁居しました。わるいがくせいでした。

The MS IME for Japanese is free. Or you could have romanized it the way you did with shimashta (actually shi ma shi ta). Honestly, though, if it weren't for the IME, I could never write Japanese effectively; I can recognize far more kanji than I can write so I'd be reduced to spelling everything in Hiragana rather than the right way.

Default Cantonese (Chinese)

I spent a couple of years in Hong Kong - spoke excellent conversational Cantonese while I was there. Now (25 years later) I can have a basic conversation and still read a little - probably at the level of a pre-kindergarten student.

Like I said, warui gaksai desu! My skills are out of use and have always been more highly focused on spoken rather than written language.

Will check out the plug-in, thanks!
