Cool . Haha that's ok, I wish I knew every language in the world! That'd be great.
I want to learn Italian- I know a few phrases. I know a teensy bit of Swahili and Swedish At secondary school(s) I had a reputation as "the language girl" it may have changed a bit

Find a babelfish perhaps?
But seriously, I need to learn a language other than English. I'm part Cantonese as well so that doesn't make it any better when I go to see my dad's side of the family and I can't understand a word of what they're saying
I've had 1 lesson a week since october! So I've been learning a lot longer then you! I'm sure you will be fine, just practice, practice, practice
Really? Are you going to buy a car?
Doesn't matter though, you've passed now! I will, bumping it up to 2 hours a week so I can practice my manoeuvres more .
Yep, I thought they were joking when they told me but I saw the quotes myself! I don't think so, with going to uni (hopefully) I don't think I'd make enough use of it .

I'm going to Italy in 2 weeks and I know about two phrases, oh dear. Need to start learning! Haha, well it's always good to learn new languages .

Ah, that's a good idea . Haha I know exactly how you feel, both my parents are from India and I literally have no idea what anyone's saying when we go to family gatherings! It's so bad and I should really know the language, but I was never brought up with it.

I can empathise on the language front. I should be able to speak Urdu and Punjabi. I can't. And I sound terrible when I try. If you find a babelfish, send one my way please

Neither was I, though my dad tried to give me and my brothers lessons. They were a miserable failure but I wouldn't mind trying again some time in the future.

My parents actually said there wasn't much point in teaching me when I was younger, but I would quite like to learn some now - I guess I wasn't bothered about it before because I speak English all the time. I've picked up some phrases and words but I couldn't hold a conversation with someone beyond "Hello, how are you?"

This, so much. I've also learnt "Thank you" for Chinese New Year, 1-20 and "my name is...." so not exactly the best repotia for living in Hong Kong (if I ever went for more than 2 weeks)
