Lived in Antwerp for 6 months and really tried to learn Dutch, failed miserably! They tried to teach me French at school too, another fail. My mind just doesn't work that way.
Re: Better kind of multi culti
I just about manage spoken English. Hated French at school. I started out in the lower end of the stream in my first year at senior school. End of term exams, 100% in general science, did well in the others so went up to the top streams. Up until then French had been more like geography, learning about farms and thing like that. When I moved up it was very much a foreign language in more ways than one. I did the written paper but I didn't go in for the second part. First and only time I ever bunked off school

Re: Better kind of multi culti
Oddly enough I can read Danish, Norwegian & Swedish fairly well but I make no effort to write the languages, as long as I can get a vague idea of the content beit a newspaper or email I am happy, if it needs more I just ask the Viking..

Mrs T copes well (too well, now she can understand me too much) with broad Glaswegian and TV shows like Still Game and Chewing the Fat and Mrs Brown she finds hilarious.. She also coped with South York and Geordie accents. Mrs T aka smart ass!
