RE: My Desire to be Poly Again – Question inside!
I only wish I spoke other languages. I'm a bit miffed at my folks over this. I am a first born American. My father was German, mother an Italian. They met in France. They both spoke three languages. When they immigrated to the U.S., they made a conscious decision to leave all of that behind and adopt the American way of life. So all of us kids (5) were never exposed to our parents heritage or language. I totally understand why they did what they did. But I still feel slighted. I could have easily learned those languages as a child.
Wow that would be amazing, to be able to speak four languages. I also would probably be miffed in this case as well, with what could have been learned. The loss of culture would be hardest for me I think. Have you considered trying to learn them as an adult? Though it would b certainly more of a challenge
Haha, the only words I know in other languages are cuss words. Funny how those stick with ya'. I've thought about trying to learn but somehow it always gets pushed down in favor of something else when I have limited time.
Yes, that I often find happens. What I am trying is the duolingo app and it is about 5 minute lessons. Hoping it helps me personally. Lets me have the lesson with my morning tea. Ahhh yes I remember swear words as well! Some in languages where I wonder when I even picked them up haha
