What languages do you speak?

[Farseer]

Spanish was for a long trip I took to Peru when I was 15.

I've always wanted to learn Spanish, RZ ! My youngest is almost nine now and we recently made a promise to each other that we are going to begin learning the fundamentals before the year is out (though I have a feeling that she will be the only one to learn anything!).

I went to gymnasium, the highest pre-university education there is in the Netherlands.

Well, that explains A LOT ! Oh, how funny, joost...where you had 'gymnasium' I thought you meant it as in 'gym', as in what we call physical education, in Australia. I was like ...why do the students taking part in gym need to know anything about ancient Latin and ancient Greek?! I'm going to get chuckles out of this for years ...*sigh*...and I thought I was at least a little intelligent prior to registering on thePlenty :rolleyes:! C'mon Nuytsia, help me out here...you thought the same thing when you first read it, didn't you ?!

Given all of the languages you've learned, and the education you've received, joost, I am hardly surprised that I am lagging behind in the cerebral stakes! I may also have studied Physics, Chemistry and Maths B & C, but that's where our similarities end...three compulsory languages on top of that (not to mention all the rest!)? I am suitably impressed !!
