Tell you what, if you want a challenge try Chinese. It's a nightmare. I can't think that Gujerati is any easier like, are you learning to write it as well??

Am I shite, its impossible to read it or write it. Even people who do write it can't read it back. I'm going to learn basics, the sort of stuff people learn from a 60 minute holiday CD then claim to speak te language.

I tried that, pretending I was fluent but with a foreign accent, but taxi drivers just say 'what are you on about you English nutter, I don't have any spoons............' :roll: :roll:

Is Gujarati spoken round Bombay way?

I had a bash at learning Bengali when I was going out that way but when I got there the bastards all wanted to talk ingrish.
