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?

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.

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.
