Languages!

So very many!

I have a friend that speaks, Portugese, French, English, and Spanish.
Another friend speaks Finish, French, English and a little Swedish, and Spanish.
Many of my friends speak Spanglish.
I have a sister in law that speaks Korean.
A niece of mine can speak French.
I have a son in Italy, will he pick up that language?
I only speak English. Which other language would I want to learn?



In our town we have people whose mother tongue is quite different.
I have met people who speak, Hindi, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagalog, Armenian, Arabic.
I know of other languages spoken in our area too, French, Italian, and Portugese.

I think I would like to learn Hindi, or maybe Italian as those two cultures are of great interest to me.
San Diego has many different languages, as does San Fransisco, Chicago and New York.
I thought this news article was very interesting regarding languages. You might enjoy it also.

Communication is so important! Especially with kind and gracious words.
I must work at this.
I tend to get excitable, I must learn to be calm.
(Could it be the Italian coming out in me?)
