Poll: Foreign Language
What language(s) do you speak?
Do you know enough to get by or is it a 2nd(or more) language for you?
Did you learn it from family, school or on your own (audio tapes/computer program)?
Re: Poll: Foreign Language
French and German, although both are now much less than I used to.
I can get by in either country with what I know. And I learned them from school. I also did a term abroad to Germany while in college where all my classes, etc.... were in German so that helped, too.
My first haircut!

Just Spanish for me. I can read and understand a fair amount. When I was on our honeymoon, I used it to communicate with the cab driver. I think my self-counsciousness prevents me from speaking more than I do, but I would say I am at a basic/beginner level. I could get by living in a Spanish-speaking coutry (I think!).
I took 4 years of Spanish in HS, and I love languages in general. I think, being an English teacher, that I have a knack for languages much more than I do for math or science.
French and Gaelic - French from 4 years of high school and Gaelic from my semester abroad in Ireland... Gaelic is sooo hard. I never really use either, and I only know enough to get very very basically by.
Do you know enough to get by or is it a 2nd(or more) language for you? Just enough to get by, lol.

Spanish - 4 years in high school- Didn't retain much, but will relearn, via Rosetta Stone
Italian - Still learning, via Rosetta Stone
Spanish and Italian, little bit of French and German
All enough to get by and communicate
School
Spanish, though I used to be much better! I can definitely get by on it, and I can read and understand a lot more than I can say. I wish I hadn't lost so much of it. I took Spanish from K-6 and then again all four years of HS. The school I went to Jr High for didn't offer languages.
I took a semester of Italian in college, and loved it, but I didn't learn very much!
J - how do you like Rosetta Stone? I've always been interested in it!

I speak and teach French and Spanish pretty fluently. I lived in France for a while, but I'm fluent enough to call them both second and third languages.
I started both at school and fell in LOVE with french took that from 7th-12th grade, majored in it in college, lived in France and picked up Spanish while in college.
