I envy people who got to grow up with multiple active languages. I feel I was robbed of 2 languages I should have learned as a child Yiddish and Russian. The only phrase I ever heard clearly in either of them was "Say it in Russian/Yiddish, the children are listening."

@Absinthe As an expat learning Dutch I can relate to this.
@freemo dag, hoe es het met je?
@Absinthe You just reached the limits of my dutch... but i shall respond with "Goed, jij ook?"
@freemo Well, other than the joke from the movie, and "Gif me ein glas sheri" we have both reached the limits.
You have seen "Prelude to a Kiss"?
@freemo Alec Baldwin's character, can speak Dutch for some reason (probably 2D immigrant) and Meg Ryan's character says the only thing she can say in Dutch is "Je hoeft elle erg witte tanden".... She tells her I will teach you something else and "om je beter me up te eten" which he doesn't tell her the meaning until the end of the movie.
