Betty: Why weren't you at the German class last night, Joan? Have you given up?

Joan: Well, no…I came back late yesterday and found Simon asleep in the chair. He'd been writing reports all day 1ong and he was too worn out to go out again, so we gave the lesson a miss.

Betty: You've missed quite a lot of lessons lately, haven't you? Are you losing your enthusiasm?

Joan: Yes, I'm afraid so. Neither Simon nor I have a gift for languages. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German. How did you and Eric pick it up so quickly and easily? You've hardly been in Germany a month.

Betty: It was neither quick nor easy, I assure you. We'd both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to brush it up a bit.

Joan: Anyway, all out friends here speak English fluently so we don't really need to learn German.
