I have always wondered when I was a child growing up in the church, and my mother would go up to the alter and they would all being to speak in tounges. I was just wondering how do you learn to speak and tounges and can it be understood or deciphered by others who may not necessarily speak it.

I personally take two fingers and form a cross in front of the person and slowly back up.

According to the Bible when ever there is someone who is moved to speak in tongues there should also be another who is moved to interpret.
This is what I was taught when I attended a class on it. During services it usually worked that way. Then one time someone spoke in tongues and no one interpreted. I asked the preacher why there was no interpretation and he told me sometime the church is not to know the meaning of the message it was meant for only one of the persons who was present.
Some Churches believe that speaking in tongues can be taught. The church I attended believed that it was a gift and if you were meant to speak in tongues or interpret God would lead you to do so!

Someone else present would be able to decipher it according to the sects that speak in tongues and usually that's what happens. Assemblies of God (Pentacostal) are noted for that, but many of the people I've met from AG churches play down speaking in tongues. Holy Rollers do it all the time, they also handle poisonous snakes and do other stupid things.

You cant decipher it, unless God has given you a gift, just as he has given people who can speak tongue the gift to do that, and most people who speak tongue dont know what they're saying either.

The true form of tongues requires an interpreter, which means that the interpreter knows the language being spoken. Gibberish is not a language.

you have to just convince yourself to do it, it's a form self deception, your making up the sounds, because you see others around you doing it, and since its a "sign" of "God in your life" you'll start doing it to because you want to feel that "presence" so badly. And you decipher it how ever you please, you make it up as you go along.

Speaking in tongues isn't speaking at all... it's an act... a farce and a put-on. Those who are engaged in it are showing off what they've spent hours and hours of practice on, privately rehersing out behind the barn - it's all nonsense sounds that make no sense at all.
Believe me... That's the truth.

You don't if it's true tongues, it's meant for God only.
If it were meant for you, there would be an interpreter.

it is a trick and a show performed. only the person talking and the person telling what he is saying knows what they want to have you hear and it is random blurps they rehearsed earlier

It's gibberish and can not be deciphered.
