> Well, my elementary school (yes, elemenatary school, don't laugh at me) forced me to take Spanish, and I hated it. When I went into middle school, I had a choice of German and Spanish, and I'm taking German. I love it! I also like when they let us write stuff on our own (in English) and not structured essays. But every now and then my German teacher lets us do creative writing in German (Frosch Grille und ein Fahrtfinder).

Yeah. I know a bit of German, and it's a rather fun language. I like to speak in "Germglish," m'self - it really amuses all of my German-speaking friends. :-}

Dar "I'm fluent in English and Spanish, I have some proficiency in French, Italian, Portugese, Latin and German, and I have people trying to teach me Arabic, Hebrew, Yiddish, and Japanese... help me!" ien
