Read the below conversation.

M: Say, Lisa, what are you watching?

W: A Japanese film. I'm going to spend all next year in Japan, and I'd better get to know more about its culture.

M: You mean you are accepted into the program?

W: Sure.

M: That's wonderful. You must be excited.

W: Excited and nervous. You know I must work on some basic conversation skills.

M: How much Japanese can you understand?

W: Only a little now. But I'll attend a special language class next month.

M: I wish I were as clever as you are in foreign languages. I'd love to study abroad.

W: Then why don't you? The school has a lot of programs that don't require the mastery of a foreign language. You just have to be the kind of person who is and can get used to a new environment fast.

What would the listener say?


M: I thought all programs required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this.
