Novahq.net Forum - speak many foreign language will not always work

A Swiss guy, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting. “Entchuldigung, koennen sie deutsch sprechen?” he asks.

The two Americans just stare at him.

“Excusez-moe, parlez vous Frencais?” he tries, the two Americans continue to stare.

“Parlare Italiano?” No response. “Hablan ustedes espanol?” still nothing.

The Swiss guy driven away extremely disgusted!

The first American turns to the second and says, “Maybe we should learn a foreign language.”

“Why? (Says the second American) that he known four language, and it didn’t do him any good.”
