Say, do you speak Japanese?

[Japanese]

[perfect_karma]

Ah.

Watashi wa nihongo ga wakarimasen.

[Japanese]

[k1_sauce]

Reeeeally?

So, if I were to ask you for a date because you're absolutely gorgeous, that wouldn't mean anything, because you don't know that much Japanese?

Thank goodness, an Oasis of sanity!!!

Finally, someone who can help us out!

[german]

[perfect_karma]

Ah...thank you.

I hope to be of some assistance, yes. What may I help with?

Then why the Latin?

[latin]

[perfect_karma]

It is useful as a sort of lingua franca. I thought perhaps other educated people might recognize it and be able to communicate.

Sound reasoning. Or you could have simply been boasting.

[latin]

[perfect_karma]

Don't be foolish. I have no need to boast, and find being competent enough at my profession to understand the language of the law nothing to boast about.

My, I had expected everyone to turn out to either speak English or Japanese.

[German]

[perfect_karma]

English would have been most expected, perhaps, although I have not failed to notice the high quantity of Japanese speakers. But I, too, am surprised how many of us can speak German.

Perhaps this America has some strange fascination with the Japanese.

Is there anything you can speak besides German and English? And...was that Latin?

[German]

[perfect_karma]

I am well versed in Latin, yes; it comes with my profession.

As for any other languages, none well enough to be worth attempting. If I am not fluent, there is no reason to attempt to converse.
