Cape Town is gorgeous. It's the only place I've ever been to in the world that I reckon has more natural beauty than Sydney.

If there is a more beautiful place than Cape Town than it cannot be on this planet, it has to be on Heaven.

The City centre is decorated with mountain settings, the city is between 2 oceans - Indian and Atlantic . Cape town is simply majestic, even the sports venues have such beautiful settings.

Unfortunately, I'm quite poor at languages. My sisters and missus are quite brilliant and put me to shame everytime.

I can speak, read and write just Arabic, English and Bosnian with any fluency.

I can speak Russian and Chechen quite fluently but cannot read or write in them (well I can read Russian but not too well).

Then of course French as we were taught in school but I am horrible, horrible at it although when my wife watches French movies I can sort of make out what they are saying.

Pushto/Farsi/Urdu: a few words picked up from my visits to Afghanistan and Pakistan
 
Telugu -- My Mother Tongue
Hindi
Tamil -- Can understand everything, can speak too but needs a time and not fluent
A little Gujrathi,Punjabi due to friends...a little spanish and French due to General education classes during undergraduation...

We actually tested this theory out once. My brother who still lives in Karachi was in Lahore for a weekend, and we tried this out. My brother stood where our lane started and I stood near the halfway mark. He went over and in a very salees Urdu accent said "Jee bhai. MM Alam road jaana hai, kitne paisay lein gey aap?" And he said 250. I stopped the same rickshaw 50 meters ahead and spoke in a thick punjabi accent and got the fare down to 130. :))

Lool I think it's probably because whenever the Rickshaw walas see someone speak Urdu they instantly assume that person to be rich so they try to rip them off. You're definitely better off sticking to Punjabi when dealing with Rickshaw walas or shopkeepers etc :))
 
My list based on fluency:

1. Spoken Tamil (can't read or write Tamil nor speak actual written language Tamil which is way different from spoken Tamil)
2. English
3. Hindi (used to be fluent but now its passable - would get my fluency if I am in a setting where I have to speak Hindi regularly)
 
1.Malayalam- fluently
2.English-fluently
3.Hindi-used to be fluent but not now
4.Arabic-read and write only
4.Tamil,Telugu and Urdu- can understand and speak a little bit.

That shouldn't count :sanga I can read Arabic too.
 
English - fluent of course
Urdu- Broken
German - I study German at school and I'm pretty good at it - Target grade is A* so if I went there I would be able to speak it (broken though)
 
English, Urdu and French.

In that order of fluency and preference.
 
Not fluent in any language. I think the part of my brain which controls speech is weak. Better at writing.
