Read or speak another language?
Permalink  

Well this started out as a joke:


 !
 

That is the title of an email I have and if someone can tell me what it says- I will open it!wink



But then it got me thinking...anybody know a second or third language?

I took 8 years of French and I can bearly read and not speak a word of it!

Good question Ruby. I have quite a few years of Spanish study under my belt but i would say I only speak the language marginally. It came in handy when my sister and I got lost at Chichen Itza in Mexico...if I hadn't been able to communicate, we'd have missed the bus going back to the resort! What a scary thought that was, to consider we may have been stranded in a small town in the rainforest. weirdface

I took 3 years of French in high school and remember very little of it. I'd really like to learn Spanish, but lack of time and money keep getting in the way.

I wish I had paid attention in the 2 years of Spanish in HS....It certainly would come in hand these days!
