Thanks Blue Bird!
Almost every language is like Chinese for me!
With the exception of Spanish which I took in High School but remember very little of.
Really, you had Spanish at school? I like that language but can't speak the rolling r.
I guess with your Spanish it's like with my French. But I don't like French. So learning was agonizing.
Yes, we were encouraged to take a language. Actually, in elementary school I did take French for a very short while. Then in High School, Spanish. Never really excelled or took either one seriously at the time but looking back, it would have been nice to really know another language.
It's really strange how people in other countries usually know more than one language and most of us here in the USA, in my opinion, don't really care about it.
