None really. I can read Latin, some German, some Gaelic and a smattering of other languages, but I can't actually hold a reasonable conversation in anything but English or Irish. |

That's more than most Americans, so it's all right

Yep...especially in California, the Southwest, and Florida, where a large part of the population has Spanish as their first language. We gringos have to pick up at least some Spanish, or we're stuck! In California, it's difficult to get a job in public service or in most offices if you're not bilingual. Most American high schools require a foreign language, but when you never have a chance to travel to where that language is spoken, you tend to lose it pretty quickly. I had three years of French in high school and two in college, and was at the point where I was reading novels and could hold a reasonable conversation...but all that was 30+ years ago, and I would be in big trouble if I were in a situation where I HAD to speak it.

It's amazing where you've come in 3 years! It's hard to believe all that came from 3 years! Although, in class, speaking with others, I suppose you'd get more. Advice from one who took 4 years of French and 3 years of Spanish--and speaks neither 33 years later: Always find somebody to talk to. Keep wearing that nametag. Thanks for the interview.
BTW, since you have hymns laying around.....if you had any in Irish.....would you consider sharing? Please wait for confirmation or correction on anything I translate. I am a rank beginner.
