I know that you like learning Living Cornish, but do you like learning other languages? Do you want to know another language? I would like to know many languages. Do I need to do that? No! Sometimes, I read labels on packets and cans. They are never in Cornish. What would they say? In Spanish and Portuguese a label says, "Alimento completo para gatos adultos". That is "Complete food for adult cats". Italian words say "Ricco in pollo". That is "Rich in chicken". There is a similarity in some words.
