If I had the time and discipline, I would want to learn Spanish. While I don't approve of the situation, this country is becoming bi-lingual. Plus, my friend in the Keys teaches Spanish, and I think it would please him to keep my newly-learned skills sharp by conversing with me in his native tongue.
What about you? What language do you want to learn?
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Italian. My problem is is that it doesn't stick because I don't have anyone to practice with. I think I have to go to Italy.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was fluent in the Romance languages. Any of them. I understand patches of French and Italian and very limited Spanish.
ReplyDeleteSpanish, Spanish, Spanish. When we are in Florida for six plus months out of the year, I hear as much Spanish as I do English. I took three years of it in high school and two years in college, plus a semester of studying in Monterrey NL Mexico - can't speak a word of it! However, I can read a little of it. Perhaps if I took a class, it wouldn't take me too long to get back into it.
