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.
