Who speaks other languages?

scottalanmiller

I took Spanish in high school, the only access to foreign language training that I ever has. I can speak just a little.

Hoping to move to Italy and expose the kids to foreign languages more immersively.

I can limp along in baby talk in Japanese.

I really really need to work on this. My daughters have way too easy of a time keeping a secret right in front of me with their mom.

I speak a tiny bit of French (enough to grocery shop in) and Lingala, a Central African tribal language. I also sign in ESL and Rochester Method.

Are you practicing stealthily so they won't realize the code is broken?

The problem is I am not practicing at all.

I've picked up some Spanish just from hearing it depending where I am at in FL. The county next to mine is over 70% Hispanic.

I picked up a little more while in Texas.

Since the time that this thread was originally posted, I learned Italian and then Spanish. I've mostly lost the Italian, but I speak Spanish every day now.
