      Hi millie

      I can speak English (!), and basic French and Spanish.

      I once had to try and understand some mathematical papers written in Russian though. I could almost understand it as a lot of the mathematical symbols were the same as in our language.

      I speak English… je parle un petit peu de français. I loved French at school and almost decided to study it at university but biology won out!

      I know a few words of German (“wunderbar” and “genau” are my favourites). And a few words of Greek.

      I love learning languages! I wish I could speak Gaelic, I have a couple of friends who do. I’m hoping to do a nightclass in Spanish next year 🙂 Do you study languages at school?

      I can only speak English and Cantonese. I have learnt German at high school and Spanish in Uni but wouldn’t say I can speak it well 😛
      I have also learnt a bit of Mandarin (another chinese dialect).
