It should be either "a foreign language" or "foreign languages"
What do you say? Is that singular or plural? | | | 4 October 2008 06:51 | | | Hello, lilian canale
Thanks for the suggestion. You're right. I prefer the plural form, noting the original German quote: "Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiß nichts von seiner eigenen." I have edited my translaton, using the plural form. |
