Parlez Vous Francais?
I'm working on my alphabet soup fic and it got me thinking about foreign languages.
We know Hornblower spoke French, initially not very well but after the events Flying Colours he would've known enough to speak relatively fluently. We also knows that he speaks Spanish, after being held captive in The Duchess and the Devil.
Bush obviously hasn't got the thing for languages. His ignorance of french is a frequent point of amusement for us bookverse fans. REMOVEZ LE CAP! =)
For the Archie fans, I don't think we find out what languages he can speak. So my first question is, do you think Archie can speak a language other than English?
I stand corrected! We do know Archie speaks Spanish. So what other language do you think he can speak, or would want to learn?
Second is, if Bush had to learn another language for survival etc, which language will he learn and how well will be learn it? (I can certainly imagine him screwing up all the accents).
And Hornblower. What languages, other than French and Spanish, can you see him learning?
