I would definitely recommend that one moving to the US learn Spanish--it is most helpful, especially to potential employers and easy to learn.

Me: Conversational Spanish, Learning Swedish

Johan: English, Swedish, German

Most of my classmates are Mexican. They teach me how to curse. :lol:

English, French, Creole, Tagalo(spoken not writen), Some Russian kinda lost it due to being out of the Brighton Beach Area Coney Island, learned it in High school.

1 cycle of spanish, it was difficult back in High school, almost all the kids in the class were spanish speaking, so at time the teach was going way too fast, I had to remind her this is Spanish 1o1, for beginer. Needless to say I drop out of the class after that just 1 cycle.(1cyle almost half a semester)

My wife can speak English, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada.

Oops,I haven't been in here in a while.

So cool to read all the newest responses.

"txt spk" :lol: Me likey!!! Good one.

As far as brains and languages go, I don't know if I mentioned a study done that bilingual people process things much faster and are better trouble shooters.

Imagine then if you are tri or quadra lingual.

I don't mean to boast too much, I have be told that I am a really quick thinker, and super resourceful, and so I get impatient with others when they take "forever".

:lol:
