Who speaks other languages?
-
Just thinking about different interests that unite us, and wondered if others on here speak multiple languages at all?
It's a field I've always enjoyed, but never gotten very far in. When I was in primary (elementary for the US), I studied Italian, then German in high school, then Spanish since in view of BA.
Then someone introduced me to DuoLingo, but I didn't like their Spanish (I have been studying Latin American Spanish and even that is different from rioplatense), so I have started studying German on there just because it's fun.
Anyone else? -
I was listening to a learning German podcast just today.
-
I should add, obvs Joyfano etc speak English beside their native language.
I just find it fascinating. -
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.

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.
