How many languages...

I speak a little bit of Spanish, not a lot, but enough to understand and speak most of it. I'm thinking of taking classes to learn more.

Another language? I haven't even mastered the English language yet. I did learn a bit of Japaneese while living there, but not enough to survive day to day life.

Comprende muchos espanol... - I agree lots of spanish?

Tengo tres anos en la esquela y muchos amigos mexicanos. - I took three years of spanish in school and I have lots of mexican friends?

"Comprende muchos espanol" translates to "I understand a lot of spanish"

I can read Spanish, but I don't speak it very well. If you'll write it out, no problemo. As far as hearing it and comprehending what the person said, forget it.:-)

I guess it probably wouldn't hurt to take a few classes and brush up on it although you don't run into a lot of spanish speaking people in British Columbia.

Hey randyJ,

Then you are a descendant of Evangeline Bellefontaine, the Acadian legend ! Where is Acadie ??? Canada ??? New Brunswick ??? I have a CD with Acadian music (folk music), you are right, it's french and english...On the explanation of Acadie, they tell that there is no country "Acadie" with frontiers, but well a group of people everywhere in the world, with the same culture and language...
I really need some explanation to know better...can you give me that?

Spoke Spanish at home growing up.
Got English (American dialect) down pretty good.
Spoke adequate Japanese when I lived there (4 years); enough to get slapped, as they say -- enough to ask directions, buy stuff, ask about what is on the menu, where you from, etc. Basic stuff.

Spoke some German after College; good enough to function during a two-week trip twenty years later.

I have lost most of my Japanese and German. But I use Spanish often, so I think that'll stay passable.

English, I do OK. I speak it weller than most.
