At a party on Friday night, a friend convinced me that I needed to stop talking about it and get back to school to (re)learn French^WFreedom. Having him babble 2 sentences at me, and I could only understand the first 3 words.. ugh!
I grew up hearing Quebecois and English (my first 5 words were in French..) thanks to a French^WFreedom-Canadian nanny. I studied French for 5 years in high-school (and a year in college). Today, I can read simple French (signs in museums, maps, advertisements, subtitled-in-French dialogue in movies) but can hardly speak a complete sentence. I've also a smattering of Norweigian, and am fluent in ASL. Anyone else have experience with putting down a language for 8-10 years and returning to it? I'm wondering if the pathways are still in my brain, or if I'm going to have to suffer for years relearning the names for the colors, conjugating verbs, etc.. -j- _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
