I would love to learn Italian. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-56667230772868593322016-06-08T21:07:50.970-04:002016-06-08T21:07:50.970-04:00I learned German in high school, and once in a whi...I learned German in high school, and once in a while I bounce back to it, even though I have forgotten a lot of it. I would like to relearn it, fluently this time. I'd also like to learn Spanish, because there are so many Spanish speaking countries. And Swahili is also on my bucket list, as we travel to Kenya every few years and have many friends from there. <br /><br />It makes me crazy that more elementary school children here in the US are not learning foreign languages. It so much easier to pick up when you are young.

You're always busy and learning and quite honestly set us all a huge example in life ... <br /><br />Lovely too that you get to all those extra mural activities and talks ... then the building and art works ... ooh ah! Well done on your ROW goals so far ... but then the German and Welsh ... I guess Welsh is probably easier to learn than Scottish, Irish, Gaelic or Cornish .. that I'd do - Welsh being taught in schools now.<br /><br />Cheers and enjoy that place!! Looks just wonderful - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-56841456512282783802016-06-08T08:58:05.439-04:002016-06-08T08:58:05.439-04:00I studied Russian years ago in college, I'd lo...I studied Russian years ago in college, I'd love to re-learn that.
