LANGUAGES

German and French, also ancient languages.


My wife is a professional linguist in German and I assist her in her work. Though my German suffers from not having studied it at school, I have done courses since and spent a considerable amount of time on and off in Germany - at a social level I can cope. French I did study at school for eight years (grade A at A’ Level) and I have used it on holidays. The Cambridge University Entrance Examination in 1968 required me to sit papers in two languages and I offered French and Latin, both of which were declared satisfactory. I also have Grade 1 in O’ Level Ancient Greek (and have visited Greece). I have attended several international congresses.
