I admire people who are able to speak more than one language. That's something I never learned. It would be helpful where I live, to be able to speak Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI was asked but never did teach English in Japan. I had too many other irons in the fire, lol.
ReplyDeleteNeat!! I can read Latin, French and some Spanish, but I speak only Southern English. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's so admirable. I always approach Spanish speaking patients with the same interest...
ReplyDeleteCompetition is good :)
ReplyDeleteSo interesting! The schools were doing something similar when we were in Germany. They urged the children to approach Americans and start conversations in English. Most of them, even the very young, spoke excellent English.
ReplyDeleteWhat great experiences you had!!
