I was chatting with @LikeItOrLumpIt a little while ago & she was off to learn another language.
This got me thinking & while cruising the myriad byways of L-Space I found this quote that neatly sums up bot Nanny Oggs’ talent for languages & my own:
“Nanny had an unexpected gift for languages; she could be comprehensibly incompetent in a new one within an hour or two. What she spoke was one step away from gibberish but it was authentically foreign gibberish. And she knew that Granny Weatherwax, whatever her other qualities, had an even bigger tin ear for languages than she did for music.”
― Terry Pratchett, Maskerade
Of course my principle languages are English & very bad English !
