![]() From the time I learned to speak, I have always been able to pronounce tortilla and jalapeño - but I have never really been able to speak the language. Growing up in Southern California, the Spanish language is deeply woven into life here - our cities all start with San or Santa, and our streets are named in Spanish words. Especially in America, only a tiny fraction of us fluently speak a second language learned outside the home (I remember reading that the number was less than 1%, but I can't find the exact statistic to quote.) Isn't it time that we change that? ![]() I have always admired with awe people that can flip back and forth between two (or more) languages with ease and grace, and am a bit jealous that I didn't grow up in a multi-language home. ![]() One of my big life goals for a long time has been to become bilingual. ![]() Catching up on my lessons anywhere, any time. ![]()
