i'd like to have a conversation with my Nana in Italian, that would be uber cool.


Omg...I've never heard anyone else use that word before. We call my Italian grandma "Nana" as a derivative of the italian word "nona" (which I've beent old means "grandmother"). She doesn't remember any Italian, though :( ...she says that when she was little, she was growing up bilingual, but then kids at school made fun of her and she stopped speaking Italian...  :(

I want to be able to speak Latin fluently, even though it's dead conversationally. German, of course, would also be fun, as would Romanian. Maybe Old English, too (Old English is actually a sort of derivative of Icelandic; it's not the Shakespearean stuff you think it is).


over here Nana is used quite commonly... I have a Nana and everyone I know has a Nana, it's usually your fathers mother for some reason

I already speak Spanish (d'uh), English and French and I'm trying to learn German and Italian (the first cos it's useful and the second cos it's easy and well... Italian guys? :P) Some years ago I was taught some Korean and spoke a little and wrote a little but didn't continue with it so I've forgotten it all. I guess I'll stick to German and Italian for now.

lol xeno...i've been calling my  nana nana since forever :-P i tried calling her nona, but it just wasn't the same.

i tried french in highschool, and i hated it :razz: i know a little though, so if i ever was in france i could get by, but barely.

umm other than italian....chinese would be cool, but it's wicked hard. my cousin's been living in china for the past three/four years, and even she can't quite get it :-P

I think compared to a lot of other countries, America isn't that great when it comes to languages. We're sposed to learn another language, but how many people actually become fluent in it? Atleast, most the people I know only know English, and maybe a bit of another language, but not much. But in some countries like Estonia, most people speak Estonian, Russian, Swedish AND English! I wish I could speak a lot of languages, but i'm so bad at it!

Yeah, here its the same too- its disgraceful- i am so ashamed of the English for it. In France they have to do Science and Maths lessons (and sometimes other ones like Philosophy) completely in English. People in other countries actually make an EFFORT because they don't have it as easy as us- we just expect everyone to know English because its 'the language of power'. Its so awful!

I speak some spanish, or I pretend to be able to... after taking it for 5 years in highschool.  Thank goodness I'll actually be taking a real spanish course... in college in the fall.  Maybe then I'll actually speak semi-fluently.  Then I'll take my trip to SPAIN :wink:   I know a liiiittle bit of French as well, very very little, my friend has been trying to teach me.

this is true. i think it's because most of us don't need to know another language since we're not put in to a setting where it's needed. like, when i was taking french it never really clicked until we went to old quebec city and that's all anyone ever spoke. that's when i got it.....if that made any sense :-P
