Re: Can you speak another language?

I speak & write Japanese 'conversationally'. I took it for 4 years as a 'special' program in HS and then 3 semesters in college.

Eventually DH and I plan to move to Costa Rica, so we both want to learn Spanish.

Re: Can you speak another language?

I'm pretty fluent in Spanish---i have the same issue where I can understand it more than i can speak it.

i chalk that up to my parents talking to me in spanish and i would answer them in english for most of my life. Chat Icon

I can speak Italian & Spanish but in a screwed up "high school was along time ago" way.

At one point I was fluent in both.

Re: Can you speak another language?

I have been learning Cantonese. I can understand better than I can speak. It is a VERY difficult language. My husband has been speaking it since he was born and he isn't even fluent. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I speak enough French to get around in Paris.

Re: Can you speak another language?

I used to know Spanish quite well but I've forgotten more than I learned over the years.

I can say "Hello, how are you?", "I love you.", "Thank you", "You're welcome" and call you an @sshole in Russian. My husband and his family are fluent.

Conversational Spanish.

I can read Hebrew, but I do not always know what I am reading.

I do know the Greek alphabet (sorority-related)
