Author: SledgerSubject: Foreign languagesPosted: 04 May 2011 at 6:46amOriginally posted by MikeyI was under the impression there was still a few Afrikaans universities around! Do you feel limited in SA by not having a great grasp of Afrikaans, or is one able to do fine with just English? Always been curious. I live in Perth and we have... A LOT of South Africans.Naw , I just tell 'em to speak a proper language ! Joking aside , there's probably more people using foreign languages in the UK than there is here in SA. I've travelled all around this country and have yet to find anyone who cannot converse in English. That wasn't always true when I lived in England , a bunch of us crossed the border into North Wales for some trout fishing back in the 1970's - we fished , then went for a pint in a nice little hostelry. It was pretty busy and the locals were all prattling in English until they heard our accents and immediately they switched to Welsh - gits !!
