Then again, I guess a lot of people still do business with the Roman Empire.

I took six years of Latin in school. And enjoyed every verb I conjugated..

Haha..

I also speak Spanish.. Cant write in it very well, but I can read and comprehend it almost as well as I speak it.

My nanny was from El Salvador, and I was just a baby when she came to live with us. She spoke no English and my parents were gone most of the time, so I dont even remember learning it. I simply absorbed it the same way I would have if it was my first language.

Spanish simply became as English was to me. I can think in it, just like I do in English..

I think it's pretty Effin cool and I have used it sooooooo many times over the years..

People appreciate being spoken to in their own language, it makes them feel at ease with you. Especially if they are a stranger in a strange land..

Plus it is a beautiful language, and there are some amazing poets out there I would miss out on if I didnt speak Spanish..

So I see much value in being bilingual, trilingual or whatever you choose to expand your horizons to include.
