Other than English I speak Italian and Japanese. My Italian is pretty rusty though. My grandparents came from Italy, and they and my father's family would speak Italian a lot, so it was kind of a requirement around the family.
And, like Evereal, I have this fascination with Asian culture, so the study of Japanese is my minor in school.

English naturally is my native language. My Spanish is good but could be better, as for Latin I can speak some but mostly through song, my German is not too good but not too bad either, Italian I can sing and speak but only with certain songs and certain writings. Maori counts for my exotic language (its the language of the indigenous peoples of New Zealand) I some of it but I can sing Hine e Hine (a Maori lullaby) that brings tears to my eyes every time its performed. Gradually learning Hebrew. My motivation for learning all these languages stems from my multicultural interests and in particular life experience.

English, Spanish, bits and pieces of Portuguese and Italian. A smattering of Nepalese. English I was born to --Spanish-because I lived in Texas, California, and Puerto Rico. Nepalese because I spent 6 months there.

Why is it we always learn the bad words first and never quite forget them?

English.
French. I took 2 years in high school and some in college. Feline. At least I like to think I can I actually wanted to learn Spanish in high school, but something happened with my schedule and I was placed in French. I wish I could learn Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, Russian and a few others. I have such a hard time with non-Roman letter alphabets though. |
