German, English and a little bit of French. I learned it in school for seven years. Funny, I know the grammar but not the words. Maybe I just foung a New Year resolution: improve my French.

I love languages and study them a lot for fun (Major Geek Alert!) Sign language took two years to feel comfortable even trying, but I've done really well a few times when I was working in restaurants and had deaf clients. THey were MOST impressed they could order without their friends or family interpreting into a voiced language!!!! It made me feel soooo good that I've kept it up. I'm rusty on a bunch of it, but so fast at spelling that I get by quite well!

Spanish and Italian are GORGEOUS languages...and I admit, when I hear my husband speaking either of them (he also speaks English, French and German on top of those two) I get a little flushed Embarassed Love LOL!

If you want to do one at home, there is a fabulous series that a friend of mine used...damn it if I could remember it right now! I'll try to remember the name and post it! I listened to the CDs and I was quite impressed with it!

I only know some single spanish sentences, like my name is and how old i am. I probably have to get started on that again too. I learned a little bit Spanish when I did an exchange year in the States. I think I still have all the exercise books, I have to look that up!

that ounds great, thanks!!

I've been asked a lot if it ever gets confusing to switch between languages and there are times when it IS hard or I totally blank on what people are saying to me (or I'm reading) and panic. However, for the most part, with practice, it is easier and easier to compartmentalize each language into its own part of my brain. Knowing French helps with Spanish and Italian, if I get stuck I can return to the French word and they usually know what I mean.

Mmm.. do you know if the Rosseta Stone language learning series that is always advertised works?

Tue, 01/09/2007 - 9:09am

20

Rosetta Stone works really well, but you should use it in conjunction with other books (ie a dictionary and some basic grammar texts) because I find they miss out on a few steps sometimes. But it's VERY good for attuning your ear to another language and getting you comfortable with it!!

21

don't know this series, but i still have the books from school and some good additional grammar books, too.

Tue, 01/09/2007 - 9:42am

22

I think they're expensive...but I'll try to find the name of the other CDs my friend used.

Time to get dinner going...á demain, ladies!! Wave
