Ok, here's my little problem.
Im a supervisor for a French Aerospace company in the US, C&D Zodiac. We hire Foreigners, even Deaf....
I cant communicate with these few individuals because they don't speak English. Yet they can all converse amongst themselves. What common language is it they speak that I can learn, at least enough to get by...
Thx....

Well, I would have said "ask them", but I guess you can't Can you at least somewhat "reproduce" some snippets of conversation from whatever language they DO use to talk to eachother ? My guess, it's either French or Italian, because if it would have been German, you would have understood a bit of it and recognized it. _

Very likely to be Russian as well... play Stalker, if you recognize any of the words in that, its Russian.

Google "swears in every language" or something
Get a selection of phrases from around the world, try them and when they punch you, you've found the language! --------------------------------

Concur, either Russian or some bastardised Cyrilic hybrid of Russian/Polish/Albanian. Read "The Hunt for Red October" or other Clancy for some Russian swear words, if 'yob tvoyu mat' makes them deck you, then they speak Russian and love their mother. ----------

the common language will probably be russian, however Ukrainian and Polish are close to each other language wise, if the ukrainian is from the west of ukraine he might be able to speak polish, so maybe thats the common language, but most likely russian, however i'm not sure many albanians speak russian, or if they do, they usually speak it poorly.

Welcome to my world buddy. I love it when Canon shows up for a week, I get 12 chinese guys tearing my printers to pieces and I have to find the one that can translate so I know why their doing it.
In all honesty I really do get a kick out of them showing up. I promised them all the next trip to the US they make I'll take em all paintballing. That outta be entertaining for everyone.

thay all belong to a group of Slovan languages. So most of the similar words are in. Learning one wont make you understand the other, remember those guys are speeking it for 20 / 30 / 40 years and travel to each other`s country to understand the diference.
I can assure ya one thing tho :D speekin Serbian surtenly helps cus many understand it hehe. I for one tho am Slovenian and that`s why i know how it is. But yea try finding out from them what thay all speek and learn that language :) for all we know thay may all be speeking polish to each othere.
rgr
Thx....

I believe the common language is a large pieces of card with crude but slightly stupid and degrading images scrawled in black marker.
If you can't make that work, just speak slowly and louder in English. If they can come to an English speaking country and not bother to learn the language then its their lost. They wouldn't expect me to go to the back end of Krakow to live and not expect me to learn their language!
