Basic English should be fine for everyone. But sometimes, Google Translate comes up with funny ideas :laughing:

As for me, I am fluent in English and German (obvious), and I know some basic stuff in French, Italian, Spanish and Polish waving

From time to time you do see some threads which are not in English.
Much of the time they have little or no participation.

I speak 2, obviously my own language Dutch, and English.

My French and German are negligible. And my Bahasa Indonesia has suffered tremendously over the years as well, hihi.

A few years back I was doing an advanced course in German, did really well too. I wanted that to be able to get a job, which in this German tourist paradise requires speaking German.
But then one day I got Germans at the counter asking something simple. I didn't understand a single world they said. laugh
It turned out they'd asked where they could get a bus to wherever.
I decided to sod it and threw the course out.
I'm all about English, and logically Dutch. No room for anything else.

Because...

A person who speaks three or more languages,
can be called 'multilingual'.

A person who speaks two languages, is called
'bilingual'.

A person who speaks just one language?
Is called an 'American'.

laugh


That's why.

Adaptations of an older Germanic dialect.
But, yes, I am aware of the history and nuances
of the English language.

You have me beat in Arabic.
All I know, is my name.

Also being able to speak jive (Barbara Billingsley in "Airplane!" (1980) and gibberish (when talking to politicians) sometimes come in handy.

Speaking English is important on Mingle. If a person doesn't even know how to say "hi", I see that as a communication barrier. I don't know if I could have a real conversation with someone, getting to know them.

As far as is a language important??~~ Yes it is, if you can not communicate with the one you're with, due to you don't understand them., how do you get to know them???

I only speak one language and that is English~~ Anything else I have to translate..

Is it important as far as Mingle2 goes? That depends if it is through e-mail then it only matters to those that are within the conversation..

But when posting in the main forums it must be in English or the post will be deleted or the thread moved to the correct country~~

Due to this is an International Site they offer Forums for many Country's~~

For example, if you want to post in German then post in this Forum..
https://mingle2.com/forum/forum/117

Aww.. but it must still be within the Forum Rules.

Otherwise, all posts must be in English.. I did leave the few above..

Mods don't have the time to translate post nor should be expected too!!

So yes at times language is important,
