M: Mary, what languages do you speak besides English?

W: I speak German.

M: Ah, how well do you speak it?

W: Very well, I can write it, too.

M: Any other languages?

W: I can speak French. But I can’t write it at all.

M; Do you want to join our beginner’s Japanese class?

W: Yes, very much.

M: Well, it’s not going to be easy, you know. It’s quite different from English, German or French.

W: I know, but I want to do it.
