Hehe are you sure he speaks African… maybe, since he is from that big country [Africa], maybe im right…ahh of course im right he is from Africa so he speaks african!! I am so smart! Thats not as bad as having someone argue that in East Africa you guys speak French… or having someone argue that you guys live with animals in your houses… Its all very annoying
OMG! I speak African too!! How wild is that?!
After your travels, I’m sure you speak Asian as well!
