The Friday Five: Language questions

[thenerdygirl]

1. How many languages do you speak?

I speak English fluently and consider that my only language but I can say & read a few phrases in French & Spanish.

2. What is your mother tongue?

English.

3. What is a language that you would like to learn and why?

French because it is the second language of Canada. I wish I had been a more attentive student back in my elementary days....though, in my defense, I do have issues with pronunciation and had to do extra classes for speech therapy when I was in school.

4. Does it bother you when people speak a language you don't know in front of you? Why or why not?

No, because I assume most times it's not about me and even if there are times when I think it might be about me, it speaks more to their character if they choose to talk about me in that way.

5. Speak to me.

I wasn't going to do this Friday Five at first because I only speak one language but I'm glad I did. While I was answering question 3 I had a revelation about the speech therapy classes I used to do and how they might tie into some issues I've been discussing with my therapist. So, yay for that.

Those kinds of revelations one gets suddenly from something completely unrelated are the best right? Happened some times to me as well, it was always so surprising and super useful! Hope you can resolve the issues in the future. (I know such things take time, but it's a start. ^^) Today's thefridayfive look very interesting, btw, might do them later as well. :)

Agreed, I love that moment. It's like a puzzle piece snapping into place!
