Scottish Gaelic - used to be quite competent but now rusty

English (unless you're a posh sounding grockle, in the which case I revert to grunting)
Can just about get around in German, given patient and understanding waiting/ticket booth/taxi staff
Schoolboy French - a lingo unknown beyond Calais
Some Polish profanities
Had a bit of a grasp of Danish/norwegian and then Swedish as I travelled through- they're all much of a muchness as I recall.
Can't speak to machinery, and as above, must have the wrong dialect for the dogs.
Can whisper cows pretty durn good though.
And I'm managing to avoid claims to be cunning linguist!

Had a proud moment yesterday when my well spoken boarding schooled GP wife dropped the word "gurt" into a sentence about sheep,
I don't think she realised she said it and I've not mentioned it..... she probably still thinks she's going to improve my language stills rather than me drag hers down
with out realising she's already on the path to yocal'ism

Don’t think I’m too bad at English. I crossed the border for my young farmers social life so would say I have conversational Zummerzet.

Had to laugh at my Son who is a keen foodie and lives in London. to be fair to him, we did not keep sheep, since he was a toddler.
Emailed me the other day about this fantastic joint of meat he had come across. Not mutton he said, but it was old yow, only available from a farmer in Cornwall, asked me if I had ever come across this breed before? I gave him a lesson on the stratification of the sheep industry
