What languages do you speak/are learning?

OMGGG I’d love to meet your sister. In my department we had a course that was a term-long one only dedicated to Milton and Paradise Lost. Its a course we take on 2nd year, and I didnt do a good job, passed with a low grade so on my 4th year i repeated it to raise my GPA. I LOVE AND HATE Milton so much. Oh GOD. I dont even know your sister but i respect her tons now, since i know it takes LOTS AND LOTS of time and patience to study Milton…

Trust me, she published a couple of books and I couldn’t even get past the introduction because it was way beyond my comprehension, lol. Btw, she dedicated both books to “my family”. She went through University of Michigan’s accelerated PhD program on a full scholarship. Obviously, between the two of us, she got all the brains…

I admire her already :pleading_face: Seriously…Milton was a nightmare for me for a long time, its considered a trauma to study Milton in our department cause many students fail and retake it for 3-4 times :rofl:But once you get a grasp of his way of work, really enjoyable!

English, Lao & Thai. I can speak all three fluently.

As far as learning, I’d like to pick up Japanese and Korean just so I can watch the dramas without subtitles.

@kassidy2002, @loveurself_melanin,
Maybe you could join this conversation in French for @lolodu41_s_599, and @haccritics My reason is, like so many fans, we join, but come back later to discussions. :blush: Thanks!
I do hope other French fans will take care of your fellow French fans. :wink::+1:t5:

I speak English and Spanish, having been blessed in my formative years to learn both English and Spanish as una tejana original. After leaving Texas at age nine and being cut off from meaningful language development for years, I moved to Rochester, NY in the mid 1980s and met a large number of people from various parts of the Hispanic world. This very week I was able to contact a woman in my area who tutors in Spanish, and we are supposed to start working together by Zoom.

I found the video below yesterday, and it gives me hope that I can begin at long last to learn written Chinese. I have a good ear but have been overwhelmed for years at the prospect of recognizing and remembering thousands of characters with zero diacrirtical marks for pronunciation and no grammar that maps well onto “western” grammar.
