    No really

    The odd bit in Irish but that's about it. Did French at school for the first three years in secondary but barely mind * all. Why the * would I want to learn French? Why is mostly French taught in schools anyway?

    A bit of the auld Irish, but not a great deal to be honest.

    Fluent in Spanish, Catalán, can Get by resonably Well in Germán, Portuguese, Italian, Gaelic, less so in French and I can swear in about twenty others. Oh and i can understand a fair bit of written Swedish, not spoken though, and some Dutch.

    all ver odd I know. Tried Basque and Arabic and gave up. T oo hard.

    Impressive.

    How have you managed to learn the languages? Tried several times to learn Spanish, know bits and pieces, but not really enough to get by on.

    I live in Spain, wife is Spanish. Lived in Valencia 3 years, just kind of picked up Catalan quite easy.

    As for the others - self-taught. I've started on Swahili. I just like languages. I don't find languages difficult usually - I think my head just works in strange ways. HArd to explain. Learned to speak German quite well and understand nearly everything in about a week when I was there. Found it quite disturbing myself actually. As I say. Odd head for languages I've got.
