I don't know.

I don't speak as much Chinese as I would like to.

I obviously speak quite a lot of French at school because I'm at a French school now and English for work.

Sometimes I speak Chinese with my colleagues and I have some Taiwanese friends as well.

who I speak Chinese with sometimes.

But I would say I've probably got more English speaking friends than Taiwanese friends.

And yeah, I just end up not speaking as much Chinese as I would like to.

I did take classes for a while though.

That was really good.

But I took them when I was still at the British Council.

So I was working afternoons and evenings.

So I took some morning classes and then I started my new job.

So I stopped taking them because now I work mornings and afternoons.

But I think you have to have a different approach depending on the language.

I mean, I speak some other languages as well, but just to a much more basic level.

So I speak very basic.

I used to speak quite good Spanish when I was at school, but I've lost a lot of it.

Italian, honestly, is just like if Spanish and French had a baby, it would be Italian.

So for Italian, I kind of just make it up if I'm not sure.
