learning languages...again

[Gwil]

The local Portuguese where I live say that when they go down to the Algarve they look for a sign saying 'Portuguese spoken here'...

 

[dazza]

They work hard to preserver the local language here my kids are taught it Catalan and speak Spanish/english in the playground. I've met some people who complain about it being a pointless language as its not spoken else where (I replied go private then).

I walked in to a café in France once and they were all speaking in English, as soon as I asked for a coffee they all went quiet, then they all started speaking in French with each other. Bloody cheek of it eh!.
In our village there's a lady that speaks seven languages, and she maintains learning Welsh helps you to learn other European languages, after all it is one of the oldest surviving languages in Europe. So go ahead learn Welsh with your son BB and the rest will be a breeze for you.

By the way the first two lines are a load of ******, who would believe such a thing.

Hadn't changed in Menai bridge about 8 or 9 years ago, or at a wedding I attended where the groom was Welsh.

Started to learn irish at aged 4 when i began school, through primary and secondary schools, before leaving at 17 or whatever, so 13 years of it. It was a compulsory subject, no ducking it. There was an exam at the end where you had to have a conversation with the examiners, i didn't understand a word. Complete waste of time.

The mods will be cross with you....if they speak Irish. Or do the swearing rules only apply to English? If so, I can swear like a trooper in Indonesian!
