English, Spanish, Italian, learning Ecclesial latin

If I continue in Theology, I will learn Latin, Ancient Greek, Hebrew, German, and French, and I hope to learn Polish as well. :D

Yes! The foreign language of English. I'm sure you've heard of it.

Additionally, I know some French which I had as my second language in school.

May I ask what you're going to use your degree for? I'm studying theology as well, but I don't have a particular career in mind.

I guess I know German well enough to test out of two years of it at BC. I used to be fluent in Dutch as well, as we lived there for about 3 years.

It would only take me a few hours or so to get back into the swing of German.

Funny thing is, when I started going to the American school in Germany, they put me in an English As a Second Language course. :lol_roll:

Dooooooooooooo yyyyyyyyyyyyoooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuu
u sppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak wh-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllle?

Haha, great movie.

And Hilde: my original plan was to get my PhD and teach at the seminary level. It's the main reason I came to Rome, because it would be very hard for me to get a job at a seminary as a laywoman without earning a Vatican degree (and studies here are cheaper).
This is all now up in the air as it will depend on what my religious community decides for me to do :)

Sadly, I actually have a book to learn Elvish...

Well, besides English, obviously, I'm proficient in Spanish. At this moment I am learning Latin and Greek(classical/new testament) simultaneously.

I used to speak French and English, and then I fell on my head. I can still read them, but can no longer speak it or understand it spoken to me. The doctor figured I stored written and spoken in two different parts of my brain, and only one got squished.

Well, I was once fluent in French, but living in the South didn't give me much opportunity to practice, so it went away. I can still read and write it reasonably well, but speaking it is tough. I also speak some Spanish, some Italian, some Hebrew, and am learning Ecclesial Latin just for personal use. I know just enough of these languages to get the context of a sentence or order food or something. LOL You know the old saying about knowing just enough to be dangerous...that's me.
