On Saturday night, we were out to dinner with all of the husbands family to celebrate his Grandmother's 84 birthday. Yes, yes, Grandmother is wise beyond her years and a whole lotta fun too! We are already planning for her 85th!
But my point is, that we are talkers - all of us. Imagine, me, the Queen-Bee-of-the-Talkers with a whole family of talkers. And, even if we are all talking at once, we still know what everyone else has just said. It's remarkable! It also results in never a dull moment. . .
kat: . . . babies have the capacity to learn any language in the world that first year of their life! It's amazing! But the window closes after a year and it's not as easy for them to then learn a different language, even though they are still a sponge. *holding her/our newest family member 2-month old, Mallory*
me: I didn't know that! That's cool! *complete astonishment*
the husband: really? That is cool!
me: I wish I was bi-lingual. . . . *wishing*
the husband: oh, we're gonna be!
me: yep. We've been talking about taking another language together . . .
the husband: not French. . .
me: something more-like, Spanish! *finishing his sentence*
the husband: yeah! I'm going to be bi-lingual in, like, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Australian!

Yeah, I wish I was bilingual, too! I REALLY wish I knew Spanish. It would help with some of the patients that I have seen. So, it's on my TO DO list. I think that's great you are thinking of learning. Our friend ETK has just started a class of beginners Spanish and then she and her hubby are going to take Spanish II together. What a great idea!
Hopefully that high school Latin will help me when I do eventually get around to taking those classes. :)
I took 2 or 3 years of Spanish in High School, but it never really sat with me - or I didn't really care enough to take it seriously. Ahhhh. .. the ages of 15 thru 18 - fearless at everything knowing nothing. . .
Once we find the time (and the class), I really hope we start towards our bi-lingual-listics! We've been talking about it for 3-years now!
Australian, eh? Sure he's not setting his sights too high? Could be tricky.
I know! He said that foreign language would be easiest to learn. Funny man, my husband!
I don't know. It's English, but it's not, you know?
