Hola

When I worhispanics worked at the downtown clinic, we took care of the Hispanics  who came to work on Scott's farm in Unicoi. We had interpreters thank goodness. Once a mpnth we held weekend clinic at the farm. I learned: "May I get your weight please?"

Good morning

No Spanish here, but it is my favorite cuisine. John is Italian and Irish and I am English and Irish. I wish that I had taken Spanish in high school instead of German, but before ancestry.com offered their DNA profiling, my mother thought that we were German, so that it why I chose it. The Spanish language has a few similarities to Italian, and it is good for many job opportunities to speak two languages.

I myself took French during my school years. I am in the process of learning Spanish to be able to tap into the Latino market.

I thought you were "Little Annie" but I wasn't certain.

Re: Lucky for those of us who don't remember our other language lessons

Oh yes, LOL.   One thing I regret is that I have lived so long that all of my loved ones who were fluent in the Czech language have passed on to their reward.  I so loved listening to them laugh and talk and try to catch words I was familiar with.  My two sisters still living know a few words and we love reminiscing.

You have a big heart and love to give. Yes, I am Hispanic. But like anything, if you don't practice it, you lose it.

Good Morning

In High School, I took three years of French but the only part I remember is how to count from 1-10.  I do not know how to speak Spanish.  I know it's hard for families that speak another language to come to this country and have to learn a new language.  I can just imagine how their children feel starting school.  I hope the schools have programs for these children.  I loved this post.
