I know! Oh, how I wish I could have begun learning a second or third language early on. Classes weren't even offered until high school (age 14). And yet studies all agree that the best time to learn languages is early on. So I have been stocking my baby niece's library full of foreign language books and tapes in the hopes that she can get a head start. :) Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
And after reading everyone's multilingual abilities I feel like a real moron. About the only phrase that sticks in my mind that my grandmother taught me is either Polish or Bohemian-'ya milooyou tebeh'..phonetically and I believe means 'I love you'? "People never do evil so throughly and happily as when they do it from moral conviction."-Blaise Pascal
I learned Spanish the hard way via gov't tapes. It was more thorough but far, far too rigid and what you really want in a language is to feel like speaking it is no chore.
