Foreign Languages

aw.

thats great pavel!

 

Oh yay! Congratulations I'm jealous sick of her, but congratulations!

 

I think I agree with you... but I am european.. so my judgement can be biased...
anyway.. here in europe (especially in the north..like scandinavia) people speaks at least 3 languages... and understand some more..

beside italian and english I also speak german (my town is in italy but close to austria, so we start to learn german in the primary school!) and some danish... and I can read and sometimes understand norvegian and swedish (they are close to dnaish...)

actually I am practicing with spanish... I understand it.. especially after living a year with my spanish flatmate but can produce little.. and mostly mixed with italian...

ah..and of course latin.. and few greek.. but just philosophical concepts...

but I'd like to study sanskrit and therefore hindi soon....

and maybe portuguese... I love it! and french... and afterwards.. not too much at once!!!

 

i made the attempt to learn french, and did ok with it in high school, but didn't really keep up with it.

my husband lived in puerto rico for much of his childhood. he speaks spanish at work. i wish i could get him to speak it around the kids. it's very important to me that the kids learn another language or two, but my son doesn't seem to have an interest. if he'd speak spanish around my daughter right now though, she'd learn pretty easily.

 

My native language is French, but I'm completely fluent in English, and almost fluent in Spanish... I also can read Italian (if you speak French and Spanish, you're fine) but can't understand it when it's spoken (just not used to it!).
