Fint begrep bortsett fra vi lat Engelske ikke gjør det snakke utenlandsk laguages nå vel og vi bør ha flere praksis!

(I just hope that says what I want it to say and I haven't insulted anyone's Mother in the process!)

It was supposed to be:
Good idea but we lazy English don't speak foreign laguages very well and we ought to have more practice!

but I probably ordered pizza for six by mistake!

I wish I spoke a foreign language better. My Spanish and French teachers at schoole both told me I was a atural at learning languages but unfortunately at the time I had no interest in them, I only wanted to do sciences. now I can just about order beer and breakfast in English, French, Spanish and Romanian, which might be useful but is quite limiting!

I can order a beer in any language, without speaking :?

Its like doing a magic trick to someone who can't speak English, they'll still be stunned, but they can't tell you :shock:
