Since I’ve been on winter break from school I’ve been practicing my Spanish. I’ve finally found one of the libraries that has a small collection of youth Spanish language books. My reading level is about 3rd grade I’d guess, the magic tree house series is good for me. I can struggle through the Harry Potter series but that’s only because I already know the story.
So anyway, I’ve been reading primary school books with the occasional help of my dictionary. And it goes pretty smoothly.
I used to be able to read German at about a high school level but I think I’ve forgotten all of it. 😦
BUT!
If I won the lottery, I’d learn Spanish better, then Latin, and Hebrew, and Arabic, and Gaelic, and French, maybe Greek, and then maybe some of the dead languages.
And I’d be a happy happy scholar.
What languages would you learn?

I always wished I could be like dr. Daniel Jackson in SG-1, any planet they go to he can pick out a few words that have the same root as some ancient language he’s studies on earth and he can magically interpret for them anywhere he goes other universe!
