I wonder if anyone knows what

To "do one's fruit" means.

Perhaps you've all heard it before but it was new to me!

I'll do my own fruit if you don't treat me to a virtual beer!

excellent! You got it in one!

Virtual beer in the post!

Seriously, did you have to check that one up? I didn't have a clue of what it meant when I saw it!

A bit wet for sunny Spain. let me ask you one question: apart from English, do you speak any other languages in Malta?

Malta has two official languages, Maltese and English. Maltese is a mixture of Italian and Arabic - not the easiest language to learn and is extremely consonantal.

Kids in Malta learn English and Maltese, Italian through television and school and have to choose either French or German in secondary school.

I'm not Maltese and therefore can only speak English and a little broken French and German.

With only one university in Malta, children are pushed to study hard from an early age and language acquirement is becoming increasingly important.

by the way, I forgot to mention the fact that there are no such things as underground "taverns" but "caverns" in Sardinia. Don't tell me you were thinking of having an underground beer?

I thought it sounded a little too good to be true!Smile [:)]

So what languages apart from Spanish are spoken in Mallorca?
