Foreign language

[SeaRain]

Do you speak a foreign language? Why or why not? If you could learn one easily, which one would you learn and why?

We speak three languages in this house even though we are Americans.

No..No I do not. Why? Well..I live in the United States and the dominate language is English(debate that with Spanish I Know). Should I move to France or Spain or Italy, I am sure I would take the initiative to learn the language as minimal or extensive as I could. "Learn one easily"...Japanese..if I could learn one easily.Japanese seems very challenging compared to the English language.

I was taught Spanish in grade school for two years. If I had been in a different classroom it would have been French. That was all we were ever needed where I grew up. When I found out that about half of my heritage was German I tried learning that. I can read some but not a lot. I have always been impressed with people that can speak two languages. I read once that one of Princess Grace's daughter could speak either seven or eight languages. Wow. I'll keep working on the German. Ich sprache ein bisschen Deutsch.

I'm mostly incomprehensible speaking one - why double my blockheadism index.

[Chez moi]

I speak very little English in my daily life. That's why I enjoy coming on here to converse and recover some of the words - and the fluency - I found myself losing after 17 years away and six years living alone. I learned a lot of French argot/slang to go with the standard, because I wanted to know what was being said around me... ,-) It's fun, 'cause no one expects me to know those words.

Working on Italian now.
