German - Had a class this morning and was talking to my girlfriend (from Munich) on skype at about 3 this morning, as well as German music. Russian - had a class this morning and 3 more this afternoon. Slovenian - chat in the corridor with my Slovenian professor. French (Canadian French) - Was listening to a French-Canadian band just now. Serbo-Croat - not entirely sure whether it was Serbian or Croatian or what, as I don't speak it myself - spoken by one of the professors at uni. Jack 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Along with the English, Korean and Japanese that I usually hear, this morning I also heard two people sitting next to me speaking Russian. Edited by mick33 on 07 October 2009 at 10:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Of course I hear German every day living in Germany. I will here Dutch when I speak with my friend on the phone. When I go downtown I will surely here some people speaking Turkish. These are the regular languages I hear here in my city.

besides the usual English...
Spanish - on the radio, playing back that NFL penalty call done in Spanish (which I thought was pretty cool.) Korean - went shopping at the local Pal-Do World where it's All Korean All the Time. I'll probably hear Mandarin and Cantonese tonight, our cable system just added a Chinese-language channel (yay!)
