I will have to look into that for Spanish. :)<br /><br />Pom,<br /><br />I prefer nonfiction too these days, though occasionally read a novel that really speaks to me.<br />I wonder what you were thinking about during Spanish class? lol.<br /><br />Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-63152302190109505552017-02-21T11:11:40.568-05:002017-02-21T11:11:40.568-05:00Good for you, M!

...It's great to keep using a second language. <br /><br />I speak French, German and Italian, though am rusty with all of them in the spoken form. I subscribe to an italian magazine and regularly read in all three languages. I find Spanish too difficult to learn (partly because it's so similar to Italian and therefore confusing) but I can understand it reasonably well (for the same reason!)Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-21937235304341952782017-02-20T13:18:38.765-05:002017-02-20T13:18:38.765-05:00Sandra, Check out Duolingo.

I think if we start learning when young, we are more receptive to learning several languages. Despite that, I keep trying! lolMarciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-74490566311234538412017-02-20T13:04:08.241-05:002017-02-20T13:04:08.241-05:00I think as an educator you never stop learning all...I think as an educator you never stop learning all you can, forever a student. Spanish has became a good language to use worldwide next to English. A friend the other day hiking with me was trilingual and uses both French and Spanish in his work. It is interesting how he can change so fluidly.Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-38503452730165621532017-02-20T12:55:11.570-05:002017-02-20T12:55:11.570-05:00Good for you, Marcie!
