Languages - December 2006

This might be a bit confusing but here it goes.....
When a person speaks english, most of the time we can tell where they from....(like if they're australian, south african, american, french etc)
So when an english person speaks a second language, eg german or spanish, can the people that speak german or spanish as a first language pick up where the person is from (as in what country you're from, not that your first language is english). The same question goes with- what if a french person speaks german, can the german pick up that the person is french?
Hope that made sense......
Thanks :-)

i'm trying to improve my chinese (mandarin) speaking and writing skills. i'm probably at level 2 or 3 following a 4 level chinese proficiency bar.

i can't read the chinese dailies yet, news on tv is a challenge.

i want to find software, online reading materials, as well as any practices you might want to share.

i don't have the time nor the resources to find and watch chinese programs. but if you insist, please do suggest particular shows. i'll try and find them over my vacations.

I herd several responses to Samantha in Spanish, including Soledad, and Emmsday. Are either of them correct?

Apart from school. I know we have mother tongue and everything. (Thank goodness I'm over that.)

Is there some kind of a language center that teaches Japanese or French?

Any recommendations? Preferable locations would be around the central area (Novena, Newton, Orchard, Scotts, etc.) Or does home tuition work?
