Thanks!<br /><br />Wow, it's nothing like what I thought!<br /><br />The languages I know bits of (Dutch, English, French and German) have all got similar bit, or even words exactly the same, so I can always sort of tell what it's about. Not so with any Asian langauges for me!<br />Anyway, I'm never going to get into it, as I have enough trouble with my two mothers langauges, Dutch and English. French I had for a few years at school, but I'm hopeless with that, can only read bits. And German may be quite similar to Dutch, but there are heaps of differences, and I've never had it at school.<br />What I would be interested in finding out about (one day when I can be bothered and am in the mood!!), is how languages such as chinese and japanese work with symbols that are whole words, etc etc. Ah ha! Thanks!
