Anyway...lep pozdrav iz Slovenije!
..... My wife is Chinese, but from Indonesia. She couldn't understand a single word of Chinese. It was funny that when we honeymooned in Hong Kong people would talk to her in Chinese, but I would answer in Chinese while she looked confused not having a clue what was said to her.
..... I forgot the Swiss have four official languages: German, French, Romasch and Italian, but still officially Helvetia.
