Dick
You learn to speak Romanian because he would say little phrases to you than smile. Of course you wanted to know what they meant so you learned. 'The ador' meant 'I adore you' which he would say often. Another phrase he liked to say was 'Iti dau inima mea' which means I give you my heart. Once you learned what he said you started to say things back: 'M-am gandit la tine toata ziua' which means 'I've been thinking of you all day long' The first time you said something in Romanian, it surprised him. You had the correct pronunciation and a pretty good accent. You two regularly had secret Romanian conversations to mess with the other Waynes. Unfortunately, Bruce knew some Romanian from raising Dick and Damian spoke and understood Romanian so your word choices were limited.

Jason
You learn German. Why? Well one day after work you were surprised to come home and hear German. thinking that Jason was watching another one of those documentaries that nobody could understand, you removed your heels and coat and made your way into the living room. Jay was speaking German. After learning German you found out that he had been saying, 'Wie sage ich meinem Engel ich liebe sie?' Which translated into 'How Do I tell my angel I love her?' You approached him after taking a nightly German class and said, 'ich liebe dich' Which means, 'I love you'

Tim
Of all the language classes Tim decided for the to of you to take together, he chose Greek. Meanwhile you were still wondering what the He'll he was thinking. The first successful word you said in Greek.... was a swear word? 'Gamóto!' You had shouted It at him when he had tried to wake you up at 6 am for school the day after your last 9 to 12pm class for Greek the night before. Consequently, it means, 'Fuck you!'

Damian
Arabic, your boyfriend was Arabic. Of course he was the nationalism of one of the hardest languages to learn and of course he spoke it. So when he vowed that he hated the English language and vowed never to speak it again, you decided to learn Arabic. You would like to continue to speak to your boyfriend. Of course he was joking, but at the time you had no clue, so you signed yourself up for morning classes. Which would suck  on Saturdays. But to you it was worth it. You decided to surprise him with a whole paragraph. 'eazizi damian , la yujad shakhs ealaa hadha alkawkab yuqaran bika. 'ant wahid min nawe wa'ahabih , taqasid alealam balnsbt li , wa'iidha faqadat 'ana 'aerif ealaa wajh alyaqin 'anani sa'amut min alhuzn. la 'astatie alaintizar liruyat ma yukhabiyuh lana almustaqbalu. alhabu , habibik.' When you said it with perfect pronunciation and a perfect accent he dropped the coffee he was holding and Alfred the cat began to lick it up, he kissed you passionately and told you he was joking about never speaking Englisb again, while the little bastard laughed his ass off. The entire paragraph translates to 'Dear Damian, there is no person on this planet that compares to you. You are one of a kind and I love it, you mean the world to me and If I lost you I know for sure I would die of sadness. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Love, your beloved.'
