Since I lived in Montreal for five years, I have a very basic street knowledge of French (can ask where the washroom is). I'm also about 60 to 70% fluent in Cantonese (street level again) but I've been presently working with a Cantonese coach to completely translate my motivational presentation.
I hope to do a speaking tour of Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau and Malaysia with both an English and Cantonese versions of my talks ready to go.
The next one will be Mandarin but unlike Cantonese where I already have some background, Mandarin will be starting from scratch. This is be a huge challenge but if I can at least get a short version of my talks learned in Mandarin, it will open up China for me.
