From my point of view, it's such a pity that some of the best countryside in the world is occupied by Frenchmen.
BTW My daughter is over there right now, so her Chinese should come in handy.Comment

Interesting thread.
As I speak French, German, some Spannish and some Russian, this has been an interesting thread.
I have a friend from Scotland who has lived in Japan for several years, speaks Japanese fluently, lives in Tokyo and has done rather nicely.
Tokyo was perhaps the most absorbing city Ive ever had the pleasure of visting.
Overall NSW is quite correct in stating that the language to learn in the past was Japanese and for the future is Chinese.
BTW would be interested to know if anyone has started to learn Mandarin yet?Comment

yes "Loud English"...in which countries is "Loud English" spoken apart from Australia.
It might be good fun to learn it actually; we'd have to go abroad to try it out though.I'm alright JackComment
