The guy at the Chinese restaurant near my office always says "Cha" whenever he sees me.
I am not sure what it means though.

Nor am I, but a chinese bloke at my school used to call me that if I kicked him in footy matches.

don't you think that it would make more sense for schools to teach chinese and Urdu than French & German? Would be far more useful

And how many UK people need to converse in Mandarin?

We're in the European Union, not some sort of Sino-UK twin town arrangement.

Spanish is spoken in more countries than any other language except English.

Mostly in South and Central America. If you're not going there, you don't need it.

But I do like the idea of cutting out French as the first foreign language. That really annoys them.

Why bother spekaing French these days? They will still burn your car / sheep and rape you underage daughter on a school trip. Why bother going as far as Iraq, theres plenty of evil 26 miles away from dover for our lad Tone to concentrate on....
