    Re: Languages

    What I know: brought up speaking French, English and Creole; learned spanish in school(easy as USAF put it since I knew french) and fluent in all these.

    The next goal is to bring up our son bilingual in French and English.

    I started learning Polish and Czech over the past 2 years.

    What I'd like to learn? I'd like to improve my Polish.


    HINT for commuters: (Gotta tell you, learning a language was the best use of time when I had a long commute)
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Re: Languages

    I know: English, French and Greek. I am so-so in Portuguese and forgot a lot of it since I don't use it anymore, but I was never fluent. I can understand and read it well, though. I know a few words in Japanese because I learned in college, but forgot almost all of it.

    I want to know: Would like to become fluent in Brazilian Portuguese because it's a beautiful language. Portuguese from Portugal is kind of the same, but sounds much harsher. Also want to learn Arabic and Chinese (Mandarin).

    To those saying French and Spanish are similar, it's true. But Portuguese is much more related to French and I found it easier learning that than Spanish.
