Timtim Posted April 15, 2012 at 09:39 AM Report Posted April 15, 2012 at 09:39 AM French - native English... well i'll let you judge by yourself! Spanish - advanced And i'm taking up Japanese, not very seriously though. I learnt some Mandarin in highschool (studied it for 3 years), but I have forgotten most of it since I stopped. And if anyone wants some help with French or even practice it, I'll be glad to help (though I know there are other French people on this forum). I'm surprised by how many of you speak/used to speak a little French! Quote
