Language fun The clues
Five language students, named Sybil, Sara, Sally, Sable and Sam, studied Greek, German, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. Oddly enough, the students were from Greece, Germany, Spain, Russia and China. But, of course, none of them studied the language of their native countries. They all studied a language for different amounts of time. They studied for 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 6 years and 10 years. Based on the clues, match the students with the languages they studied, their native countries, and the length of time they studied a foreign language.
1. None of the language students studied their native languages. 2. Sara studied a language twice as long as the person from Spain, who studied Russian. 3. Sally studied a language even longer than Sara and twice as long as the student from Russia, who studied Chinese. 4. Sybil and Sam did not study Russian, and Sally did not study Spanish. 5. Sara and Sally did not study German, and neither one was a native of China. 6. Sybil did not study Chinese.
