Who speaks more than one Language?
English being my only language I decided to learn Italian. My wife is going to Italy with a girlfriend and we decided after 50 years on this earth its time to do it.
We started in January using the "Pimsleur" method. Highly recommended. We just finished Italian I (16 cd's, thirty 20-30 minute lessons) We have been doing it about an hour a day 6 days a week. Pimsleur has Italian II and III. When you finish with Italian III you are a 2- on a scale of 5, 5 being fluent. Its quite challenging, but fun too. I have always felt that people that speak more than one language are,should I say superior? This method is conversational, so you can get around other countries easily and converse with the locals. |
English and Arabic here...
|
English, Spanish, French, Japanese, pretty rusty on French and Japanese
|
English, Italian (spoken in the house) and Spanish and Brooklynese.
Believe me it does'nt make you superior. But it's great when you travel to a country and you speak the language. I have found that the locals treat you somewhat different if you know their language. |
Does Latin count?
|
In order of learning,
German, (hoch unt swabisch) English , Spanish, Italian. |

"four by four" means please, "adidas" means good bye, and "fleas on my dog" means merry christmas. My 9 year old son can converse well in Russian and Spanish. |
