Which language do you speak ?   Well , I studied French at school , but I ’ Ve forgotten most of it . I learnt some Russian while I was studying there and now I study Spanish in evening classes . Do you speak Japanese at home with your parents ?   Yes , I do . I ’ m learning Chinese now on the internet .   How do you find studying a language on the internet ?   It ’ s not easy , particularly with listening and speaking , because sometimes the connection isn ’ t too good .   I bet you find the character difficult to write !   Actually , many of the characters are the same or very similar in both Chinese and Japanese , so they ’ re easy for me .   So , you can read and write much better than you speak and understand other speakers , right ?   Yes . How are the Spanish classes going ?
