  • Learning The Lingo

    A common topic is the apparent laziness of Brits in not learning the language of their host country. It reminds me of the joke:

    Q. What do you call a person who speaks several languages?
    A. Multi-lingual

    Q. What do you call a person who speaks two languages?
    A. Bi-lingual

    Q. What do you call a person who speaks just one language?
    A. British

    Humour aside; is there a need to? Most of my circle agree that it would be a wonderful thing to learn Spanish; they are positive. Sadly there simply isn't a need. When they try practicing the Spanish (bless them) reply in English. There simply isn't the incentive to do so unless you're like my ex-mother in law. She learned French as a hobby; without any intention of ever putting it to use.

    As another friend said: "If you moved to Llandudno would you learn Welsh?"
