Nat's gonna learn portuguese, and said I should too since I lile languages. But I learned enough portuguese to get me through 5 weeks of Brazil, and was reasonably good at understanding what was being said! But I've forgotten most of it, and have to think about what I'm trying to say instead of just being able to talk back.

Same with spanish, even though it's only 6 months since I stopeed using it sad.gif

Anyone welse got this with another language?! Anyone want to practise!? or teach me some words in a different language!?

HAve fun with your portuguese (I can't help sorry). I would love to learn welsh at some point.
saxlover
You liking languages is an understatement!

I took French but I haven't gotten to use it in well over a year so I've forgotten a lot of it. I don't have anyone to practice with because all of my friends are taking Spanish!

elmo
Excuse me, Nat, I think you're more middle england, since we're in the north westeset that you can possibly get before you get to scotland! tongue.gif

Or as a southerner asked me once "Is cumbria in the midlands?"

Oh you'll miss all this incisive banter once you're el studento smile.gif
Choddy
Oh right Ok... just had this strange feeling that I'd seen you somewhere blink.gif without knowing you. How odd blink.gif blink.gif blink.gif .

Elmo, I'm obviously not quite as far north as you! I though Cumbria was actually in the Midlands... isn't it? huh.gif
saxlover
Ok!

Erm doesn't your brother play in Sefton wind band or something!? I played at a concert same time as him!
Choddy
Yeah Sefton Youth Wind Orchestra (AKA SYWO), I'm in it too biggrin.gif
I remember you PMd me about it didn't you. You recognised the name!
OK, so I stole my screen name from my brother, but my nicknames are a bit rude for public viewing laugh.gif
saxlover
Ah cool. Did you play at the Bolton concert?
Choddy
No that was SYJO (the jazzzzy version) we have lots of SY??s so it's easy to get confused. SYJO played in Birmingham in the final of MFY thought, came second mad.gif
saxlover
Ah right, I don't know then!

Weird that you recognise me!

Do you have a picture of you that you could email me?
Rainbow
Wow, it's cool that you two might know each other.

On the topic of languages, I really need some practice with French and Spanish. I've also forgotten most of my German cos I haven't studied it for a year.
Wobby
Avez-vous besoin de pratiquer le Français? Je ne suis pas un personne français, mais je sais assez! Je suis desolé, mais je ne comprends pas l'Espanol, mais je parle un peu d'Italiano, mais c'est pas très fantastique! J'espère seulement que vous n'êtes pas une française naturale, parce que mon français c'est pas tellement fort!

~Wobby~
Rainbow
Mon Dieu! Moi, j'ai besoin de pratiquer le Français. Je suis desolé mais je ne parle pas l'Italiano mais à l'avenir je voudrais apprendre le. Bonne nuit!

Wobby
'Lol', mais je n'ai pas q'un idée, comment on le dit en français... vous êtes en le deuxième anée de le mérit, ou la première anée?

~Wobby~
Wobby
Je peux parler pour un peu de temps, mais dix plus minutes avant je dois me doucher, habiller, coucher et dormir! Ça va?

~Wobby~
Rainbow
Comment dit-on l'anglais: "deuxième anée de le mérit, ou la première anée?"

Merci beaucoup!
Wobby
Lol, je voulais à dire "Second year of GCSEs or first?", mais mon français c'est pas assez fort! laugh.gif

~Wobby~
Rainbow
Je suis très fatiguée!!!
Wobby
Ah, d'accord, dite-moi donc pourquoi vous devez utiliser l'ordinateur seulement tellement tard dans la nuit? laugh.gif
Wobby
De toute façon, je dois me doucher maintennant!

Bonne Nuit!

~Wobby~

Je sais que je fais des erreurs enormes quand je parle en francais, je m'excuse et j'espere que les gens peuvent comprendre...
