I wanted to learn Tibetan but I’ve married the least patient Buddhist on the planet plus in fairness I’m proper shit at learning languages. Did French and German at GCSE and genuinely didn’t have a fucking clue apart from being able to ask directions to a swimming pool in La Rochelle or where the cake shop is. My wife’s younger niece is fluent in 5 or 6 languages locally having moved between Nepal and various parts of India and studied nursing in English to work in Canada. Her sponsor said ‘why don’t you come Germany instead?’ so within 9 months she passed their version of IELTs written, speaking, listening at 7.5 going from scratch - absolutely blows my mind! We were on a WhatsApp call with her and she was speaking to my mrs in their tongue, me in English then a lass who was with her in German just flitting between them like it was nothing. I was shit at french as well. I couldnt even count to 10 i could only get to 7. Im not sure if it was due to the fact im rubbish at french or my Huit allergy was stopping me.

If I spend some time in France or Spain I pick up quite a bit of language. Have recently spent a lot of time in Greece. The language is IMPOSSIBLE 😤

As most of you will testify, I’m still learning English. I’m too long in the tooth to take up another one

The more someone doesn't talk to me the more I talk to them I'm really good at being friendly to waiters or restaurant staff and I love annoying people with kindness.
