Sorry, Ian, couldn't understand a single word of what they said Are there Latin subtitles by any chance?
My wife has actually used the same tactic to get rid of drunken guys, after some minutes of more polite "please piss off" kind of conversation. It worked almost as well as her "Sorry, I'm a man"-phrase, which took care of the problem under 2 seconds.
Languages:
Finnish (native)
English & French (fluent, able to read academic literature)
swedish (can read newspapers, normal discussions etc)
Japanese (conversational, read 300-500 kanjis)
Hebrew (basic conversational level)
studied some courses of spanish in high school.
Some silly phrases in chinese and farsi.
Have been thinking of improving my hebrew and/or learning chinese. Italian and portuguese have also interested me, Italian partly because it seems so close to french. Farsi mainly for practical reason, as my wife's bilingual and when we get kids, she's planning to speak farsi to them...
