Speak a second language?

[snickerd3]

I decided to spend my hour commutes learning Spanish. Borrowed an audio learning program from the library. I think it is going to be more annoying than i thought because I find myself answering in French instead of the Spanish they are trying to teach. I took 4yrs of French in HS.

Just curious how multi-lingual people are.

short of the German that I learned in HS and a semester in college in 1999, nada here.

I took two years of Spanish. I can ask for two beers and where the bathroom is, HAHA.

But, here's a good website for spanish lessons: http://www.elearnspanishlanguage.com/beginningindex.html

I keep meaning to give it a go.

I speak two languages...

...English and American.

You may laugh but my wife didn't find it amusing when we went to England and she couldn't understand half of what people were saying to her.

English, 6 years of Spanish, and enough Mandarin to get myself in trouble.

I had three yeas and can do the same and ask "how are you?"

I suspect "if you don't use it you lose" and I don't "press 2 for espanol", so I don't use it.

I can speak Spanish on a conversational level, but not well enough to be completely fluent. If I could spend a month or two in Peru with my wife's family then I would be fluent, but every time we go my parents end up going and causing me to speak English most of the time.

Snick - what program are you listening to? Pimsleur?

 

[snickerd3]

Yes it is pimsleur program. The library also owns a lonely planet program but it was already checked out.

I honestly wanted to learn polish but the library doesn't have it and I don't want to spend $ on it.

Que pasó. Alguien me llamó?

I can speak, Spanish, English, and doggie (to communicate with my Shih Tzu)/ Also have learned some Italian from my daughter but just a couple of phrases here and there.

 

[goodal]

Just kentuckian and pig latin (to confuse the kids).

No vi la señal de murciélago.

Leo espanol, pero poco a poco.

Tambien, hablo espanol, pero poco a poco.

Enough to get me in trouble. I used to be better, but I stopped working retail when I graduated from college.

 

[IlPadrino]

I speak Italian thanks to my imported wife. We try to speak exclusively Italian at home so that our son benefits from "living the language".
