I speak a few languages just a little bit. Born and raised in the United States so I’m fluent in English. After four years of high-school Spanish and living on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio for many years I can get by in Spanish. A year of Chinese in high school I can speak a few sentences. A semester of Japanese in college and all I recall is a few words.
A mere weekend in Montreal a few years back taught me more than years of studying a language via book ever did. It taught me that to learn a language, I must actually use it, be immersed in it, think in it. It prompted me to stufy French, of which I still retain a basic grasp. I’m tired of the basics. I’m ready to learn to speak, read, think, and dream in other languages.
