Bit unfair when English is the language of the world. That's why it's a tad critical to say that an Englishman who visits France and initiates a conversation in English is arrogant and culturally-domineering, but a Swede who does the same isn't. Besides, when I was at school we only had the option of French and I've always detested it, whereas with German, Italian or Spanish I would've put more of an effort in

Spanish should be taught in schools, Frog and Fritz are pointless languages in the grand scheme of things.

Mandarine is hard as **** to get to grips with

The Prime Minister, who lefties laugh at, can speak Latin, French and Italian fluently.
He also has a good grasp of German and Spanish.

If Boris Dogshit's Clowncar Catastrophuck of a government really does take us out of the EU without a trade agreement with our nearest neigbours, it'll be the worst political failure since Mad King George threw away the American colonies.


And some of you ******s will still call it a success. I despair for this country, I really do. Who knew there were quite so many thick belligerent xenophobes?

The thing is, they only really have to learn one other language, which language would we have to choose?

Spanish, German, French, Chinese?

I saw that he's crushing capitalism by charging his brain dead pinko cult member followers to watch his silly videos about owning property and charging for services being evil tools of oppression.

He describes himself as a 'fourth-generation socialist'; his grandfather was involved with the Communist Party and his parents met as members of the Trotskyist Militant group.

<laugh>

Scotch? I know you are, Gammy

Parisians are subhuman, but French girls can be quite receptive to a handsome Englishman like myself. I wouldn't sully myself by attempting to speak French, especially as it's just a less logical way of putting English words together :cheesy:
