My grandmother died in 1991 and I was born in '86. We only met once, but I didn't speak English and she didn't speak Spanish - so we had a communication problem. ~ Oona Chaplin
Speak English quotes by Oona Chaplin
Beneath the surface level of conditioned thinking in every one of us there is a single living spirit. The still small voice whispering to me in the depths of my consciousness is saying exactly the same thing as the voice whispering to you in your consciousness. 'I want an earth that is healthy, a world at peace, and a heart filled with love.' It doesn't matter if your skin is brown or white or black, or whether you speak English, Japanese, or Malayalam - the voice, says the Gita, is the same in every creature, and it comes from your true self. ~ Eknath Easwaran
Speak English quotes by Eknath Easwaran
Dreams do come true, even for someone who couldn't speak English and never had a music lesson or much of an education. ~ Lawrence Welk
Speak English quotes by Lawrence Welk
Just remember if we get caught, you're deaf and I don't speak English. ~ Rick Riordan
Speak English quotes by Rick Riordan
I speak English, so I am no longer cute. My tongue itches for French. ~ Anna Held
Speak English quotes by Anna Held
Move beyond the educated elite, and the great majority in most countries outside Europe don't speak English. ~ Martin Jacques
Speak English quotes by Martin Jacques
I phoned the Admiral back.
'It's no use, Admiral, the French speak nothing but French.'
There was a short pause on the end of the line then his voice rattled into life like a sabre.
'They're lying, Tim!'
'What?'
'The French Navy must by law speak English, as English is the international maritime language of the sea.'
'Has anyone told the French that?'
The line went dead for a moment before he thundered, 'Yes Nelson. At the battle of Trafalgar.'
I tried to stifle an irresistibly British giggle not knowing if the Admiral was making a joke or not. I got it right. He was serious. ~ Tim FitzHigham
Speak English quotes by Tim FitzHigham
I pursue my case, Monsieur, I speak English, Italian and German, and I want justice in all three languages. I have been damaged by unlove. It makes at inappropriate moments when I should be dignified. ~ Deborah Levy
Speak English quotes by Deborah Levy
I am a big fan of the Gallagher brothers. At Liverpool, they came a few times; they are friends of Steven Gerrard. It was nice to meet them. When I was in Spain, I couldn't speak English, so I couldn't understand the lyrics. When I came to England, I started studying music and trying to understand what my favourite songs said. ~ Fernando Torres
Speak English quotes by Fernando Torres
Do you come from a culture where women wear veils but your friends wear thongs?
Does at least one of your parents speak English with an incomprehensible accent?
Did your parents have an arranged marriage … are they cousins?
Well folks, you've come to the right place. You are literally holding in your hands
the coveted answers to every question you ever had about your insane existence –
herein lies all the information you need to understand about why you're crazy!
And trust me, you are crazy!
That's right. It's true. You can't deny it. "
-From Veils to Thongs ~ Dalel B. Khalil
Speak English quotes by Dalel B. Khalil
One of the first things to understand was how people knew what language to speak to whom. Where I've lived in the American Southwest, choosing to speak English or Spanish based on how someone looks is risky. If you try English and they don't speak it, you can switch to Spanish if you know it. But if you start with Spanish, you might offend: 'You don't think I speak English?' This can be the case if you're Anglo, even if you speak Spanish very well and just heard the other person speaking Spanish. When I described such an scenario to Indians, they couldn't relate - to them, choosing the wrong language wasn't embarrassing or politically charged. Or so they said. ~ Michael Erard
Speak English quotes by Michael Erard
Nothing in my younger life could have told me I would have needed to know how to speak English. ~ Omar Sy
Speak English quotes by Omar Sy
Think of it in terms of men's and women's cultures: women live in male systems, know male rules, speak male language when around men, etc. But what do men really know about women? Only screwed up myths concocted to perpetuate the power imbalance. It is the same situation when it comes to dominant and non-dominant or colonizing and colonized cultures/ countries/ people. As a bilingual/bicultural woman whose native culture is not American, I live in an American system, abide by American rules of conduct, speak English when around English speakers, etc., only to be confronted with utter ignorance or concocted myths and stereotypes about my own culture.

-- Judit Moschkovich - "--But I Know You, American Woman ~ Cherrie L Moraga
Speak English quotes by Cherrie L Moraga
Your mother can't produce food out of thin air," said Hermione. "No one can. Food is the first of the five Principal Exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfigur--"
"Oh, speak English, can't you?" Ron said, prising a fish bone out from between his teeth.
"It's impossible to make good food out of nothing! You can Summon it if you know where it is, you can transform it, you can increase the quantity if you've already got some--"
"Well, don't bother increasing this, it's disgusting," said Ron.
"Harry caught the fish and I did my best with it! I notice I'm always the one who ends up sorting out the food, because I'm a girl, I suppose!"
"No, it's because you're supposed to be the best at magic!" shot back Ron.
Hermione jumped up and bits of roast pike slid off her tin plate onto the floor.
"You can do the cooking tomorrow, Ron, you can find the ingredients and try and charm them into something worth eating, and I'll sit here and pull faces and moan and you can see how you--"
"Shut up!" said Harry, leaping to his feet and holding up both hands. "Shut up now!"
Hermione looked outraged.
"How can you side with him, he hardly ever does the cook--"
"Hermione, be quiet, I can hear someone! ~ J.K. Rowling
Speak English quotes by J.K. Rowling
I don't hold with abroad and think that foreigners speak English when our backs are turned. ~ Quentin Crisp
Speak English quotes by Quentin Crisp
So you don't speak English, you have no ID, you can't tell where you're from ... that's suspicion, it's lower than probable cause. And then we have a right to call immigration and check you out. ~ Joe Arpaio
Speak English quotes by Joe Arpaio
And Philippe won't speak English. She's sure he can - he's got that European je ne sais quoi that usually means Oh, I speak six languages. And a little Japanese. ~ Ellen Sussman
Speak English quotes by Ellen Sussman
I went to a basic school, which had children from all corners of the world, and met my best friend and had to learn Greek because she didn't speak English. ~ Kerry Greenwood
Speak English quotes by Kerry Greenwood
I'll try to communicate, Taylor said. She spoke slowly and deliberately. Hello! We need help. Is your village close?
My village is Denver. And I think it's a long way from here. I'm Nicole Ade. Miss Colorado.
We have a Colorado where we're from too! Tiara said. She swiveled her hips, spread her arms wide, then brought her hands together prayer-style and bowed. Kipa aloha.
Nicole stared. I speak English. I'm American. Also, did you learn those moves from Barbie's Hawaiian Vacation DVD?
Ohmigosh, yes! Do your people have that, too? ~ Libba Bray
Speak English quotes by Libba Bray
My mind speaks English, my heart speaks Russian, and my ear prefers French. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Speak English quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
After working on 'Europa,' I found it incredibly freeing to speak English in a film, so it kind of sparked an interest in me as an artist to improve my acting. ~ Daniel Wu
Speak English quotes by Daniel Wu
It was curious what trying to speak English had done lately to his mind; it reminded him of studying poetry in college, words gaining and losing their meaning, overlapping with images, the curious echo of ideas behind the words people used. ~ Jess Walter
Speak English quotes by Jess Walter
I don't speak English, so I cannot foresee a career in Hollywood. But I do see myself more and more as an actress rather than a dancer. ~ Monica Cruz
Speak English quotes by Monica Cruz
They don't talk the same language as us. I don't mean that they don't speak English, but that their minds are different. They're like animals, and because I hate the sight and sound of them, and because you're a Britisher, I'm telling you to get out now while the going's good. ~ Eric Ambler
Speak English quotes by Eric Ambler
Sometimes when people can't speak English, they hum the melody instead of singing along. Having 20,000 people humming your song is incredible. ~ Nikki Sixx
Speak English quotes by Nikki Sixx
You only have to look at London, where almost half of all primary school children speak English as a second language, to see the challenges we now face as a country. This isn't fair to anyone: how can people build relationships with their neighbours if they can't even speak the same language? ~ Theresa May
Speak English quotes by Theresa May
Everybody in Spain is sick of me. But in America, there's curiosity about the new kid on the block who doesn't speak English very well. The attention makes me feel vulnerable, which is something I hadn't felt in a while. But I like it. ~ Javier Bardem
Speak English quotes by Javier Bardem
Because it's unacceptable that the aid worker's chauffeur only speaks his own tribal language, an applicant is needed who also speaks English fluently - and, ideally, one who is also well mannered. So you end up with some African biochemist driving an aid worker around, distributing European food, and forcing local farmers out of their jobs. That's just crazy! ~ James Shikwati
Speak English quotes by James Shikwati
When I took part in European leaders summits, it was sometimes unpleasant for me to hear Romanian, Polish, Portuguese, and Italian friends speak English, although I admit that on an informal basis, first contacts can be made in this language. Nevertheless, I will defend everywhere the use of the French language. ~ Francois Hollande
Speak English quotes by Francois Hollande
Brittany Ellis," Mrs. Peterson says, pointing to the table behind Colin. I unenthusiastically sit on the stool at my assigned place.
"Alejandro Fuentes," Mrs. Peterson says, pointing to the stool next to me.
Oh my God. Alex . . . my chemistry partner? For my entire senior year! No way, no how, SO not okay. I give Colin a "help me" look as I try to avoid a panic attack. I definitely should have stayed at home. In bed. Under the covers. Forget not being intimidated.
"Call me Alex."
Mrs. Peterson looks up from her class list and regards Alex above the glasses on her nose. ' Alex Fuentes," she says, before changing his name on her list. "Mr. Fuentes, take off that bandanna. I have a zero tolerance policy in my class. No gang-related accessories are allowed to enter this room. Unfortunately, Alex, your reputation precedes you. Dr. Aguirre backs my zero tolerance policy one hundred percent ... do I make myself clear?"
Alex stares her down before sliding the bandanna off his head, exposing raven hair that matches his eyes.
"It's to cover up the lice," Colin mutters to Darlene, but I hear him and Alex does, too.
"Vete a la verga," Alex says to Colin, his hard eyes blazing. "Collate el hocico."
"Whatever, dude," Colin says, then turns around. "He can't even speak English."
"That's enough, Colin. Alex, sit down." Mrs. Peterson eyes the rest of the class. "That goes for the rest of you, as well. I can't control what you do outside of ~ Simone Elkeles
Speak English quotes by Simone Elkeles
I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations - that's why we got married really quickly. ~ Sean Connery
Speak English quotes by Sean Connery
In English, I'm a little bit limited. I speak English as a second language, and that's a little limitation that I have to work around and I have to use it to my favor. So, yes, that's why I end up wanting to do more things in Latin America. ~ Gael Garcia Bernal
Speak English quotes by Gael Garcia Bernal
I feel like I'm losing my ability to understand reality; like when someone loses their hearing, they can still speak English, but their speech eventually becomes distorted because they can't hear themselves. ~ David Chang
Speak English quotes by David Chang
I came to New York when I was 21, 22. I couldn't speak English. I knew I wanted to go to fashion school. ~ Francisco Costa
Speak English quotes by Francisco Costa
How will the Tower of Babel be undone? How will we understand each other in Heaven? Will we all speak English or Dutch or Latin? No, we will speak music. ~ Peter Kreeft
Speak English quotes by Peter Kreeft
Aw, come on. I barely speak English, unless we're talking about the Lowcountry kind. ~ Kami Garcia
Speak English quotes by Kami Garcia
This universality of physical laws tells us that if we land on another planet with a thriving alien civilization, they will be running on the same laws that we have discovered and tested here on Earth - even if the aliens harbor different social and political beliefs. Furthermore, if you wanted to talk to the aliens, you can bet they don't speak English or French or even Mandarin. Nor would you know whether shaking their hands - if indeed their outstretched appendage is a hand - would be considered an act of war or of peace. Your best hope is to find a way to communicate using the language of science. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Speak English quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Why do elites hate the poor? It's xenophobia. They don't know any poor people - except their off-the-books Brazilian nanny and illegal immigrant cleaning lady from Upper Revolta who don't speak English. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Speak English quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
The pressure is on. They've teased me all week, because I've avoided anything that requires ordering. I've made excuses (I'm allergic to beef," "Nothing tastes better than bread," Ravioli is overrated"), but I can't avoid it forever.Monsieur Boutin is working the counter again. I grab a tray and take a deep breath.
"Bonjour, uh...soup? Sopa? S'il vous plait?"
"Hello" and "please." I've learned the polite words first, in hopes that the French will forgive me for butchering the remainder of their beautiful language. I point to the vat of orangey-red soup. Butternut squash, I think. The smell is extraordinary, like sage and autumn. It's early September, and the weather is still warm. When does fall come to Paris?
"Ah! soupe.I mean,oui. Oui!" My cheeks burn. "And,um, the uh-chicken-salad-green-bean thingy?"
Monsieur Boutin laughs. It's a jolly, bowl-full-of-jelly, Santa Claus laugh. "Chicken and haricots verts, oui. You know,you may speek Ingleesh to me. I understand eet vairy well."
My blush deepends. Of course he'd speak English in an American school. And I've been living on stupid pears and baquettes for five days. He hands me a bowl of soup and a small plate of chicken salad, and my stomach rumbles at the sight of hot food.
"Merci," I say.
"De rien.You're welcome. And I 'ope you don't skeep meals to avoid me anymore!" He places his hand on his chest, as if brokenhearted. I smile and shake my head no. I can do this. I can do this. I can-
Stephanie Perkins
Speak English quotes by Stephanie Perkins
You'll hear people say it's racist to test. Folks, it's racist not to test. Because guess who gets shuffled through the system oftentimes? Children whose parents don't speak English as a first language, inner-city kids. It's so much easier to quit on somebody than to remediate. ~ George W. Bush
Speak English quotes by George W. Bush
Just so you know, I speak English. You don't have to macho-speak with shit like 'you with me' after you macho-speak with a bunch of bossing me around. I get you. I'm with you. Or if I'm not, I'll tell you."
"Noted," he muttered but sounded like he was smiling.
I made the diplomatic decision not to look. ~ Kristen Ashley
Speak English quotes by Kristen Ashley
I'm sorry, I don't speak English. ~ Francesco Totti
Speak English quotes by Francesco Totti
We may hope that machines will eventually compete with men in all purely intellectual fields. ~ Alan Turing
Speak English quotes by Alan Turing
This made no sense to me, probably because I speak English and have never had a head injury. ~ Tina Fey
Speak English quotes by Tina Fey
I hope God speaks English. If I get up to heaven and have to point at a menu, I'm gonna be pissed. ~ Daniel Tosh
Speak English quotes by Daniel Tosh
If you can speak English, and you can get a place on a proper course at a proper university, you can come to study in Britain. ~ Theresa May
Speak English quotes by Theresa May
When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing. ~ Kristin Scott Thomas
Speak English quotes by Kristin Scott Thomas
I said, "I'm satisfied teaching the martial arts."
"Not me," Arnold responded. "Bodybuilding is just a stepping-stone to me. I plan on becoming a real estate mogul, and from there, I plan to get into the movies."
I had to smile as I said to myself, "How's he going to be an actor when he can hardly speak English? ~ Chuck Norris
Speak English quotes by Chuck Norris
My American strength coach said he liked me better before I could speak English. ~ Yao Ming
Speak English quotes by Yao Ming
I learned how to speak English watching television. ~ Azita Ghanizada
Speak English quotes by Azita Ghanizada
I always like a charity with people who don't speak English because I get them to do all kinds of things around my house. ~ Joan Rivers
Speak English quotes by Joan Rivers
I just said let's get some poets on tv. And when they said that sounded unlikely, I made it worse. I said, no man, I want to put a bunch of black poets on stage, too. Some Latino poets who barely speak English and Asian poets who can't believe how discriminated against they are. It was luck nad being in the right place. I wasn't saying nothing somebody else wasn't saying but they wouldn't hear it from them. ~ Russell Simmons
Speak English quotes by Russell Simmons
I speak English and Spanish. I write in Spanish; my books are published in English. ~ Isabel Allende
Speak English quotes by Isabel Allende
I engage with New York and America but my parents pretty much hang out in this radius of Long Island where their friends are and where their work is. That's why you have people who have lived in New York for like 20, 30 years who don't speak English. They just live in a Chinese community or an Indian community. More than anywhere you'll find that in Queens. ~ Himanshu Suri
Speak English quotes by Himanshu Suri
Where is it written in the Constitution that because a guy played football, he has the automatic right to sit in that booth? How hard is football? If I've spent thirty-five years as a sportswriter, you think I don't know you get six for a touchdown? You think I don't know that? You think I don't know you get three for a field goal? C'mon, c'mon. And I can actually speak English okay, so that would be a difference between me and a guy who spent his whole life playing football. Now, not all of them are like that, but it's that thinking that says, "We have divine right of booth." No, you don't. No you don't. ~ Tony Kornheiser
Speak English quotes by Tony Kornheiser
I don't know what the hell that freak just said, but we're not as backward as you cyborgs think! We know how to speak English!" The tableau continued a moment longer before Old-timer finally managed to utter, "You do?" "No! I'm lying to you! I don't speak a damn word of English! I memorized this phonetically just to piss you off at the right moment!" the Purist shouted back at him. ~ David Simpson
Speak English quotes by David Simpson
I've said it once and I will say it again, why can't everyone just speak English? The Americans give it a bit of a go - why can't
other nations? ~ Louise Rennison
Speak English quotes by Louise Rennison
The Ewoks were definitely a challenge of writing 'The Jedi Doth Return.' After having done so many things with characters who don't speak English, how was I going to make them stand out? Jedi is also rich with emotional material, particularly Darth Vader's transformation from the dark side back to the good. ~ Ian Doescher
Speak English quotes by Ian Doescher
In a small village near Calcutta, in 1998, a villager who could not speak English sang me What Did You Learn In School Today? in Bengali! Tom Paxton's songs are reaching around the world more than he is, or any of us could have realized. Keep on, Tom! ~ Tom Paxton
Speak English quotes by Tom Paxton
Children learn to speak Male or Female the way they learn to speak English or French. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Speak English quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
I speak English. I grew up speaking Bengali. This is the normal, the known, the obvious composition of who I am. Then there's Italian, this strange, other component of me that I've just created. It was a creative process just to learn the language, never mind to start expressing myself in it. ~ Jhumpa Lahiri
Speak English quotes by Jhumpa Lahiri
I was wondering, do we get the best of Swedish music or just the best of Swedish music that speaks English? Sweden has a population of nine million. And with all these acts coming out it just seems like very ripe for musical success. I don't know how they do it. ~ Mike Pesca
Speak English quotes by Mike Pesca
Never mind that she's been hearing this soliloquy from strangers since she was born, in the Year of the Fire Horse, twin sixes after the nineteen. Never mind the order of questions invariably changes even if the questions themselves do not: 'How long have y'all lived here? Do you even speak English? Oh, well. Your English is so good. Bless your heart, you must miss your people. You stick out like a raisin in a big bowl of oatmeal. Is it true that you worship cows? . . . Have you even heard of the Bible? Don't get all uppity on me, don't turn away. I know you think you don't have to listen. But this is my country. You do. When are y'all heading back? Y'all best be getting back to where you came from, you hear? No need to overstay your welcome. ~ Devi S. Laskar
Speak English quotes by Devi S. Laskar
I first went to Barcelona in 1975 after university, and I stayed for three years. I learnt Catalan because that's what everyone speaks in the mountains. They speak English to foreigners, but what people say to each other is much more important than what they say to you. ~ Colm Toibin
Speak English quotes by Colm Toibin
Even though I couldn't speak English, there were many times that my black-American parents could read my mind and I could read theirs. ~ Kola Boof
Speak English quotes by Kola Boof
If you do not learn English in this country, you cannot get anywhere. We are in America. We are not in Mexico, we are not in China, we are not in Saudi Arabia - we speak English in this country! And what bilingual education does, is keep them from learning English, so they are doomed to be second-class citizens. ~ Rafael Cruz
Speak English quotes by Rafael Cruz
More than 300 million people in the world speak English and the rest, it sometimes seems, try to. ~ Bill Bryson
Speak English quotes by Bill Bryson
Does anyone here speak English? Or even Ancient Greek?
- A very lost Marcus Brody ~ Rob MacGregor
Speak English quotes by Rob MacGregor
But still it's like I said, when you hop in a cab in Italy and the guy doesn't speak English, uhh, you know, you have to start pointin' at things. You learn how to deal with it. What I'm tryin' to say is that it's not as convenient as touring in the states or say somewhere like Australia or even England where they speak the [same] language fluently. ~ Vinnie Paul
Speak English quotes by Vinnie Paul
Roppongi is now virtually a foreign neighborhood. Africans-I don't mean African-Americans-who don't speak English are there doing who knows what. This is leading to new forms of crime such as car theft. We should be letting in people who are intelligent. ~ Shintaro Ishihara
Speak English quotes by Shintaro Ishihara
If one takes pleasure in calling the gold standard a "barbarous relic," one cannot object to the application of the same term to every historically determined institution. Then the fact that the British speak English - and not Danish, German, or French - is a barbarous relic too, and every Briton who opposes the substitution of Esperanto for English is no less dogmatic and orthodox than those who do not wax rapturous about the plans for a managed currency. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Speak English quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
We know the goats are imported because they don't speak English. ~ Scott Adams
Speak English quotes by Scott Adams
Korean-American: Have you ever noticed how most Asian-Americans are slightly brain-damaged from having grown up with Asian parents? It's like being raised by monkeys - these retarded monkeys who can barely speak English and who are too evil to understand anything besides conformity and status. Most of us hate these monkeys from an early age and try to learn how to be human from school or television, but the result is always tainted by this subtle or not so subtle retardation. Asian people from Asia are even more brain-damaged, but in a different way, because they are the original monkey. ~ Jean Lee
Speak English quotes by Jean Lee
Speak English!' said the Eaglet. 'I don't know the meaning of half those long words, and I don't believe you do either! ~ Lewis Carroll
Speak English quotes by Lewis Carroll
Statistics say that a range of mental disorders affects more than one in four Americans in any given year. That means millions of Americans are totally batshit.
but having perused the various tests available that they use to determine whether you're manic depressive. OCD, schizo-affective, schizophrenic, or whatever, I'm surprised the number is that low. So I have gone through a bunch of the available tests, and I've taken questions from each of them, and assembled my own psychological evaluation screening which I thought I'd share with you.
So, here are some of the things that they ask to determine if you're mentally disordered
1. In the last week, have you been feeling irritable?
2. In the last week, have you gained a little weight?
3. In the last week, have you felt like not talking to people?
4. Do you no longer get as much pleasure doing certain things as you used to?
5. In the last week, have you felt fatigued?
6. Do you think about sex a lot?
If you don't say yes to any of these questions either you're lying, or you don't speak English, or you're illiterate, in which case, I have the distinct impression that I may have lost you a few chapters ago. ~ Carrie Fisher
Speak English quotes by Carrie Fisher
I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation. ~ Pharrell Williams
Speak English quotes by Pharrell Williams
A lot of people don't know enough about me. When I meet people who freak out about Game of Thrones, they don't even know that I can speak English. ~ Jason Momoa
Speak English quotes by Jason Momoa
Both my parents had heavy accents, and so did everybody they knew. It's a rhythm thing - people who speak English where they have to hesitate and think of the right word. And I think it rubbed off. ~ Christopher Walken
Speak English quotes by Christopher Walken
I live in a small country in Europe - Finland - and I don't speak English well and I had nothing to do with publishing houses in the West. I lived in complete isolation. ~ Hassan Blasim
Speak English quotes by Hassan Blasim
If somebody's going to earn citizenship, with whatever other hurdles are put in the way, at the end of the road they should be able to speak English, they should be able to read English, they should have some knowledge of American history, ~ Rudy Giuliani
Speak English quotes by Rudy Giuliani
I'm worried I will leave grad school and no longer be able to speak English. I know this woman in grad school, a friend of a friend, and just listening to her talk is scary. The semiotic dialetics of intertextual modernity. Which makes no sense at all. Sometimes I feel that they live in a parallel universe of academia speaking acadamese instead of English and they don't really know what's happening in the real world. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Speak English quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
We had probably our best ever Player of the Year Dance last week. You elected Dennis Wise as Player of the Year. Dennis accepted his award mimicking Vialli, whereupon Zola shouted 'Speak English', Dennis switched to his normal Cockney voice only for Zola to shout 'You're still not speaking English'. ~ Ken Bates
Speak English quotes by Ken Bates
When I couldn't speak English, I loved silent films circa 1914-1929, Abel Gance being my favorite director. ~ Kola Boof
Speak English quotes by Kola Boof
President Bush appeared with Arnold Schwarzenegger at a huge campaign event. Only in California can a governor who speaks German and a president who can barely speak English try to make themselves clear to an audience that's primarily Spanish. ~ Jay Leno
Speak English quotes by Jay Leno
Men must speak English who can write Sanskrit; they must speak a modern language who write, perchance, an ancient and universal one. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Speak English quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Today 350 million people speak English as their first language and around 450 million have it as a second language. That is roughly one in every seven people on the planet. ~ Niall Ferguson
Speak English quotes by Niall Ferguson
Never believe a Frenchman who pretends he can't speak English. ~ Beryl Dov
Speak English quotes by Beryl Dov
And Mrs. Treaclebunny has promised to speak English from now on as well. In fact, she said when she goes to England, that's all she speaks anyway because the animals speak English there. She says anyone who has read children's books with animals in them set in England would know that. Is The Wind in the Willows written in Mole with a little Ratty thrown in? Is Winnie-the-Pooh written in Bear? No, it's English, because that's what the animals there speak. I didn't know that before. Travel is so broadening. ~ Polly Horvath
Speak English quotes by Polly Horvath
Until I am free to write bilingually and to switch codes without having always to translate, while I still have to speak English or Spanish when I would rather speak Spanglish, and as long as I have to accommodate the English speakers rather than having them accommodate me, my tongue will be illegitimate. I will no longer be made to feel ashamed of existing. I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, white. I will have my serpent's tongue - my woman's voice, my sexual voice, my poet's voice. I will overcome the tradition of silence. ~ Gloria E Anzaldua
Speak English quotes by Gloria E Anzaldua
Because you've been on dates where y'know, you forget to open your eyes and wear pants and speak English. ~ David Cross
Speak English quotes by David Cross
I can speak English. I can speak Hindi. I can understand one or two other languages. ~ Azim Premji
Speak English quotes by Azim Premji
There is always that age-old thing about England and America being divided by a common language. You think that because we speak English and you speak English that you're bound to understand and like everything that we do. And of course you don't. ~ Rowan Atkinson
Speak English quotes by Rowan Atkinson
You have already achieved the English-Language poet's most important goal: you can read, Write and speak English well enough to understand this sentence. ~ Stephen Fry
Speak English quotes by Stephen Fry
I think there is a problem in France that anyone who is not European, you want to know where they come from and why do they come from somewhere or why they speak English or why they are human. That's the big barrier for all of us that are coming from some far, far away countries. But at the end of the day, we are all artists. ~ Golshifteh Farahani
Speak English quotes by Golshifteh Farahani
My opinion is that more languages you speak, better it is, but when you come to America, you speak English. ~ Melania Trump
Speak English quotes by Melania Trump
The French just said he was a damned nuisance. Or they would have had they the good fortune to speak English. Instead being French they were forced to say it in their own language. ~ Lauren Willig
Speak English quotes by Lauren Willig
