… and I truly try to live my life with as few as possible … is that I’ve never mastered a second language. I had my chances, but did I take advantage of them? Noooooooooooo. I was just too lazy. In high school I took one year of French, which I loved, but never took more because, well, I don’t know. Maybe I heard that French II was really hard or some other lame reason. In college you had the choice of two years of a foreign language or a “tag” degree (similar to a minor). I was too intimidated by foreign languages by then so I opted for the “tag” degree. Silly, silly, silly. So as an adult I have tried to learn French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Greek and Chinese. My efforts have ranged from CD programs and books to evening classes to working with “native” speakers. I have given up after days, weeks or months, depending on the language. I wanted something better for my children, thinking they could learn when they were young, but with me or my husband not really knowing another language well, it just hasn’t happened. I’ve known several people who were not only bilingual but multilingual and I am so envious!!! Maybe in my next life …
Ditto. Boy I wish I could say that in another language.
Your are the greatest! Keep on keeping on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
