Here is what is amazing to me. Below is a list of the top 21 most populous contries. I went to 21 - France - for some perspective:

# Name Population %

1 China 1,341,540,000 19.5%

2 India 1,192,280,000 17.3%

3 United States 310,571,000 4.51%

4 Indonesia 237,556,363 3.45%

5 Brazil 190,732,694 2.77%

6 Pakistan 171,476,000 2.49%

7 Nigeria 158,259,000 2.3%

8 Bangladesh 149,804,000 2.17%

9 Russia 141,927,297 2.06%

10 Japan 127,390,000 1.85%

11 Mexico 112,322,757 1.63%

12 Philippines 94,013,200 1.36%

19 Dem. Rep. of Congo 67,827,000 0.98%

20 Thailand 67,070,000 0.97%

21 France 65,447,374 0.95%

I am in the Vietnamese group in Vegas - #13 on the list and we have very little literature translated into Vietnamese (mgzs and a few books - no yearbooks). But if you look at the top 20 and you look in the yearbook at the number of publishers - there is a lot of work to be done!

Schön Dich hier zu sehen )'>

[RichardK]

I speak German (and here Jehova in German: http://vocaroo.com/?media=vYtdCq6IUGdzgzbwW) as I am from Austria and learned English in school. I love to read books in English and I'm quite in understanding spoken word, but sometimes it's hard to write or talk in an foreign language. I also speak some French, but only studied it for two years.

Schön Dich hier zu sehen..................

I do speak fluently:Czech,English,Spanish,Polish,Slovakian and a bit Russian.

Bro Christian how come you speak Czech?Any relatives over there?

I am very sorry for the delay in answering this, Kamil, I missed the post before!

My wife and I started to learn Czech because we had an influx of Czech roma into our local territory in London. They came seeking asylum, but many were economic migrants. Few spoke much English and no-one locally spoke Czech.

Later we visited CR several times and made many friends there (the congregation in Caslav is like our second home, and Dejvice congregation in Prague is well known to us - including brothers in the Vietnamese group there!)

We have no relatives there other than spiritual brothers, but Czech people usually think my parents were Czech!
