Bib, always good to admit faultOh no, Freda is bored! Mea culpa
I admit to the pedantry. What pisses me off is the comparison between thicko Harry and clever William when they’re probably much of a muchness academically. What William does have is lots more commonsense.

I suspect something is being planned by the Beverly Hillbillies. They might be focused on the book stuff, probably busy booking interviews via zoom or whatever so they can drum up interest in the fairy story.I am very worried that the pair are quiet ATM....It feels like when your kids are in the next room and it goes silent....
I have an ominous feeling that something ominous is going to ominously occur...
FWIW...I don't give ahow many languages they can fluently speak.. that's the kind of day I'm having so there
Someone kick them and tell them to get back to being nasty and manipulating,or I may have to comment on the PS thread...now there's another grooming young men nearly underage cul de sachate him nearly as much as pinkyATB...I digress...going to fix the satnav❤
I nearly forgot ....you will never guess what I am eating.........
Only sugared almonds
Yes it is ominously quiet from them at the moment (highly suspicious).
With any luck they've been kidnapped by
And are probably learning how to speak Vulcan or whatever

The skin care woman was the last acolyte to speak up in praise of smeggy I think.
Good point, well made.
witch wanted to make him feel like he didn’t belong.
You still have to have some knowledge of the language to be able to read the whole speech and pronounce the words so people will actually understand you (unless someone wrote it phonetically for you, which is how actors would say their lines in a lingo they don't know - they still sound awful most of the time, with a few exceptions). I speak/read/write fluently in 3 languages (English is not my first), plus know quite a few words/expressions in 3 other, love learning languages, but you could easily kill me with French...no way I can read much of it, despite finding Spanish and Italian easy, all from the same language family, plus I did Latin for 2 years at Uni...Anyone can read a speech in a foreign language. I don’t know a word of Spanish, but I could fake it if someone kindly wrote it all out for me.
If you call asking every person the same question over and over (sut mae, pronounce shmai meaning how are you) then yes William is fluent in
All he’s saying in Welsh is ‘sut mae‘ pronounced shmi, which means how are you. He says it over and over, but can’t engage any further because er, he can’t speak Welsh.
I speak Welsh so it kind of irks me that he gets the credit for it. To be fair, it is a really bloody hard language to learn.
Reading out a speech in French which no doubt someone else has translated for him isn’t speaking French.
My pedantic ass is going to explode in a minute
Another polyglot here and I agree, you have to understand what you’re reading in order to get the correct emphasis and intonation so that it makes sense to the listener.
What's PPE??Someone said on twitter re Smegs legs “ I wouldn’t want those spindles wrapped around my neck, not without full PPE anyway”
EXAAAAAAAACTLY!!!! All she did was show what a Fekking belland she is
I don't have Twitter, but so appreciative of the links to the public posts
Dino who thought she would be queeno
Nope, you're right, some people find it easier than others, and not much to do with intelligence. Also, some find it easy to read and understand, but can't really use it in a social setting. I know a couple of people working as translators (English into their native language), they've been doing it succesfully for years, a lot of it quite technical and specialised - but somehow they struggle to have a longer conversation in English. Both very smart I hasten to add.
Thanks!!!!
