I live in the US and like most Americans I speak English pretty well. But I am also learning two foreign languages at the moment which I know is less common in our culture. First I am learning Irish partly because my mom is of Irish ancestry and partly cuz of curiosity and also partly because well the language is dieing and my sisters and I want to contribute to the furthering of a language from our ancestors.
I am also learning German mostly for school but also because my dad is all German blood and I have always wanted to learn German. I am also fairly proficient in Spanish because I lived in a heavy hispanic community for a few years and took a class in HS and had a lot of spanish speaking friends. I am getting away from Spanish now and focusing on German and Irish at the moment but if I can master those two I might give French a try who knows.
So just curious who else here can speak or is learning to speak any languages besides English?
