17 Listen, read and act out. George meets a group of foreign participants.
George: Excuse me, where are you from? Mark: I'm from Hungary. And this is my friend Paula. George: Pleased to meet you, Paula. Paula: Pleased to meet you too, George. Mark: Paula is from Italy. She lives in Rome. Do you speak Italian? George: I'm afraid, I don't. I speak only two foreign languages: French and German. Actually I prefer speaking German. I know it much better than French. Mark: Really? Paula speaks German, too. And her German is quite good. As for me, I don't speak German, but I can understand what people say. Paula: That's great! We can have a good time practising our German.

At an International Language Camp
Anna: Excuse me, is this seat free?
Daniel: Yes, please sit down. I’m Daniel. Where are you from?
Anna: I’m from Spain. And you?
Daniel: I’m from Canada. This is my friend Mei. She’s from Japan.
Anna: Pleased to meet you, Mei.
Mei: Pleased to meet you too, Anna. Do you speak English?
Anna: Yes, I do. I also speak Spanish and a little French. What about you?
Mei: I speak Japanese and English. I’m learning German, but I can’t speak it well yet.
Daniel: I’m afraid I don’t speak German at all. I know only English and French.
Anna: That’s all right. We can practise together.
Daniel: Good idea. I’m a bit shy, so I don’t usually talk to new people first.
Mei: Really? You seem quite sociable to me. I’m the talkative one in my family, but my brother is very reserved.
Anna: I’m hard-working, but I’m not very independent. I prefer working in a group.
Mei: Then we’ll get on well. Welcome to the group!
