My whole entire family is Hispanic (Nicaragua) and my family is HUGE!!!!! So huge, in fact, that's it's impossible to keep them all in one small location. So, they had no choice but to spread all around the Western Hemisphere. lol

My dad used to travel so much around the world, as a business, that he learned a little bit of German, Saudi Arabian, Venezuelan, and nearly a dozen more other languages in nearly a dozen countries.

My Uncle is still in the Army and he used to be in Germany as well. I have an uncle who's an actual pilot (with an intrument rating) and used to be in cuba for some time.

I can go on with the list of all the other people in my family, but my fingers will get tired by the time I am even half way done. LOL

Yo hablo Ingles (cien porciento), un poco de Aleman, y todo de Espanol. Y si vo no me crees, salite de aqui y nunca me hablas. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I have learned a little German through that so-called internet dictionary. LOL

I do speak enough Spanish to get myself in or out of trouble, depending upon the situation, but not as much as I'd like to know.

As for German, I'm from a VERY German family (dad was born there), and I've heard German spoken at various family events, however I've never been able to pick it up. (I've tried!)

For Paz, however, the question was posed "Which is easier, German, Spanish, or Italian?"

Spanish and Italian are very, very similar. (Lot's of "idioms", as they say.) German is completely different. For me, German is much more difficult than Spanish.

I'd really love to learn Russian, to be honest. There's just something about the language that fascinates me.

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com

Rifle - with what you know about languages and many other subjects - I would say that you have a well rounded knowledge base - clever boy.

Now the question is - do you feel that you would classify yourself as a "Cunning Linguist"? Wink

If being a cunning linguist does not bring a smile to her face you are doing it wrong.
