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

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!

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!

Yeah Sefton Youth Wind Orchestra (AKA SYWO), I'm in it too
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

Ah cool. Did you play at the Bolton concert?
Choddy
Sep 5 2005, 08:42 PM
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

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.

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!
