I did say that ;D Oh, sweet irony, it's good, being bilingual ;D
Come at me, bro, nobody can ruin French more than typical French-Canadians, anyways, so I've heard it all xD (you'd think they're speaking gibberish, but no, it's French, apparently ._.)

Bon...Bonjour. Ah...that's about the extent of my French. I know a little bit of Latin and Spanish...but I'd have to use dictionaries every other word, so I'm not even going to try (despite taking YEARS of Spanish, I can only say "Hola, coma esta?").
ALSOOOOO that...outfit. It's PERFECT! And you make a sexy pirate, mwahahaha! See, I can't sew at all. I'd love to learn, although right now I'm focusing on my knitting and I just decided to knit scarves based on different flags. Maybe I'll sell them (if I ever get around to it hjsgfjhsag).
*pops over to the warm-up thread and hopes I don't butcher the RP with my horrible-ness*

Yeah, I'm enriching my Spanish right now, too (He tenido dos años de clases de español a la escuela, pero no puedo empezar una conversacion inteligente con nunca porque no tengo el vocabulario que necesito para hacerlo ;w; ) . I will only be satisfied when I am fluent in 4 languages. And then, I will start German. And hopefully have functional German in my pockets by the end of my studies xD
Bwaaa, thank you, I want to redo it in darker colours, though ;w; If you saw my coat in a fully-lighted picture, your eyes would probably burn because of the bright red colour it is TwT
Don't worry, I think the rustiest one around is me. I'm going to need this warm up thread a lot xD

Hahaha lol I took French for 9 years XD The extent of my French is really Bonjour, je m'appelle Brook, je suis Anglais, je ne parle Francois pas XDDD and I don't DO tenses XD (Something about lessons at/after school, inteeligent/intelligible conversation, nessecary vocabulary XD) I did 2 years of German and learnt more of it then I did French XD Gosh I'm terrible at languages ;_;

No one can be worse at languages than myself. I don't have an ounce of room to learn another language. I try and try and try, but it just doesn't come very easily to me. Sadly, I remember every single curse word in a different language. That's it (and it isn't very helpful when staging a conversation, mind you).
Every time I hear the word rusty, I think of Wizard of Oz. Which is awesome and I'm totally about to burst out singing in a second, so please feel free to cover your ears.

I did French for 9 years and I still fail at it XD That is far more than half my life! Gosh, I don't even remember much before learning French, and it still escapes me! I pick up useless information quite quickly...I can memorise everything in a story, character bios, if its an anime, voice actors...etc...but it does NOT work the same way when it comes to work -_-'
Hahahahah I can deal with bad singing ;D I'm sure its not that bad anyways! XD

French is horribly hard to learn. Don't pursue it if you like being sane. I'm afraid for your sanity if ever you become advanced enough to learn tenses nobody uses, learn of rules that have more exceptions than rule-abiding words, and spelling that makes no sense.
It is too late for my soul. It cannot be salvaged xD
Ohhh, sing, sing and we shall listen to this beautiful melody with utmost pleasure ;D

Yeah, my mother-dear said she took French for a few years and she barely remembers anything. All of those useless grammar rules reminds me of Latin, which is probably the most ridiculous language in the world. Word order doesn't matter, so you sometimes just have to take a wild guess as to what the sentence might be saying (it gets really awkward when I translated it in this weird way and my friend read over and he just said, "Yeah...might wanna check that again.").
You're Canadian, your soul will always stay. Don't worry. I believe in Canada. *throws Canadian flag into the air and loudly sings the Canadian national anthem*
There. I sang the Canadian national anthem. [Actually, to tell you the truth, I don't know shit about the Canadian national anthem. Here, I'll come up with my own (sing it to the tune of 'Take On Me' by A-Ha- "Can-a-da...it's a country...in North America! And it has a lot of moo-oose. And beavers. It's so very bigggg. Canaaaaadaaaaa (Canada!) Mappppleeee Leafff! (maple leaf!) It'sssss soooo coooool! Ba-da-da-da-doooooo!"] Yeah. Ahem...I might need some sanity-pills or something.

French is a pretty language, but you have to have a lot of willpower to learn it (or just have it imposed upon you from your early childhood on xD). Seriously, screw grammar C:
HAHAHA I FREAKIN' LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW. LIKE. MARRY ME. AND OUR WEDDING SONG WILL BE YOUR VERSION OF THE CANADIAN ANTHEM. (I just sounded REALLY Belarus for a moment there ;w; ). That's hilarious. I wish I could come up with something for the American anthem. But no. I'm boring and mainstream, so I'll just sing the actual (and quite epic, if I do say so myself ._.) anthem in return.

French is beautiful. I have a strange obsession of finding Disney songs in French, just because the language is gorgeous and I'd love to learn instantly know how to speak it. Yes, please screw grammar (er, metaphorically speaking, of course)!
I SHALL MARRY YOU IF- AND ONLY IF- YOU WEAR YOUR SEXY-PIRATE!ENGLAND OUTFIT TO OUR WEDDING! And we shall link arms and sing and become drunk and live long lives with 2.5 children and a white picket fence and a dog named Josh. As long as you sing the awesomely epic American anthem right back at me. Every morning. Whilst eating Frosted Flakes.

Well, it does sound good~ Except France-French sounds posh (to me, anyways xD), and Canadian-French sounds crude. THERE IS NO RIGHT MIDDLE. JDIOGOHERGHER. I shall wear it then, and parade like a boss down the aisle I wanted to get married in cosplay, anyways xD But I don't particularly like us having 2.5 children. Why can't we have 2.836666... children? Why do you get to choose!? D: .... Asides the children, I think we're cool with a white picket fence (although I can't guarantee it'll stay white for long. I like colours *_*) and a dog named Josh and Frosted Flakes every morning (bweeeh, I know I'm gonna sneak in some Reeses Puffs somewhere in there). Okay, it's settled. I'll go get the calendar marriage contract xDDDD

French always sounds posh. German always sounds angry. Spanish always sounds fast. English always sounds English. Unless you're me. Then it becomes indecipherable due to random bouts of Southern accents (geez, I always thought y'all was a normal word until I had some friends laugh at it).
Awesome, man! And I shall wear...um...some other outfit that I can one day get my hands on (for I think it would be weird if I came in my military!England uniform- then I'd be marrying my younger self or something). A cosplay wedding would be awesome, but I think my entire family would kinda kill me first in some very painful ways. Hmph. Fine. 2.836666 children is alright. HOWEVER, I get to choose their names.
You'll own one half of the fence and I shall own the other half. Josh will live in our barn. Frosted Flakes are to be eaten with 2% reduced fat milk, and I will only accept the generic brand from Wal-Mart. You shall be in charge of the shopping, so I thought you should know. Fine, fine...buy Reeses Puffs (since you'll be shopping, anyway). Pick up some Cinnamon Toast Crunch for me, though, since I surely won't be able to survive solely on Frosted Flakes.
And, I shall sign that contract and then we will gaze lovingly into each others eyes, and you will say, "This was a brilliant decision," and I shall nod and grab your hand and reply, "And you're a brilliant person."

You have no idea how much I am laughing right now. A lot is an understatement :'D Well, it's a plan, then! I think we should totally get married as Pirate!England and WWII!England. Mindfuck everybody invited to our wedding EVEN MORE I wanna get married in cosplay, and I'm sure my mom's gonna be like "*facepalm* what have I given birth to?" and my dad's gonna be the one to kill me in various painful and somewhat creative ways xD Still, just to put this out there right now, none of our children shalt be named "Bob". Nor "Steve". And fine, I'll shop and cook. Cause I'm awesome in the kitchen. Also, I drink skim milk, so I guess we'll just have to make a budget for two types of milk U_U And I think our signing of the contract will be turned into a dramatic romantic multi-million dollar movie because it's so beautiful and romantic and tear jerking and so full of emotion and so Hollywood-worthy. Let me just drop Steven Spielberg a call, okay?

Russian sounds angry as well. English sounds English...till its spoken by an American! =O Joking XD
Have fun at the wedding! God that just sounds hilarious! XDD Im meant to be doing maths homework right now, but your conversation is just too funny XD
Oh I gave up French at the end of last year along with German, I wished I could have taken Spanish though =O Latin is pointless unless you want to be a doctor or something

I think German sounds the angriest. Not to offend anyone, though, but my friends and I always joke that it sounds like somebody throwing up constantly xDD Dude, you're invited, of course Our wedding's gonna be positively BRILLIANT ^^ Lql, I would never take Latin. Dead languages are NOT FTW. Besides, we had a sample text in Latin read during French class once, and I figured that I NEVER EVER want to speak such a complicated language xD
