[quote=Anonymous]Native language from birth. Started German in the 2nd grade, started English in the 5th grade. Latin also in HS, but not speaking it. Continued English in HS 5 times per week. Then went to college in the U.S. Then learned some Norsk while living there. Learned French while living in Africa. I have lost most of my German and Norwegian by now though. I could get by at the airport and in a restaurant. My native language is a Slavic language so when I lived in Czech republic I could totally get by. But, it truly is use it or lose it prospect. Though, having studied so much, I can understand written signs, directions on the roads in most of Europe. I can tell what my Dutch friends are saying, for the most part, when they switch to Dutch. Not a brag, just that many European languages are a combination of English, French and German.[/quote]
