WHOA. HIBERNATION IS COMING TO AN END. TIS 1ST OF MARCH AND ALMOST SPRING. MANY GREEN SHOOTS PEEKING ABOUT TO SEE IF IT'S SAFE, BORED WITH DORMANCY...THE FRENCH CALL IT "LE PRINTEMPS". LANGUAGES ARE FREAKIN HARD (FOR MOI) TO LEARN. I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN ACQUIRING THIS SEEMINGLY UN-USEFUL SKILL (FOR AMERICANS) FOR DECADES. BORN IN GEORGIA TO INDIA TO TEXAS TO ALASKA TO ALABAMA TO TENNESSEE TO KENTUCKY TO TEXAS TO VIRGINIA TO CALIFORNIA TO TENNESSEE TO COLORADO TO RHODE ISLAND TO CALIFORNIA TO SOUTH CAROLINA TO TENNESSEE. I MUST HAVE HEARD UNUSUAL SOUNDS EARLY IN MY DEVELOPMENT FROM SOUTHERN DRAWL TO MELODIC HINDI TO TEXMEX. VARIETY FEEDS THE GEMINI. GRADE SCHOOL INCLUDED LEARNING SPANISH, "ANARANJADO" LOOKS LIKE AN ORANGE AND I AM SURPRISED I REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL THAT. EK, DOE, TING, CHAR, PONCH, CHAY, SOD, ODD, NAW, DUST....THATS WHAT THE NUMBERS 1 THRU 10 SOUNDED LIKE IN GREATER KAILASH, SOUTHERN DELHI. AGAIN ULTRA SURPRISED OF MY RECALL. SOUNDS I GET TO USE ALMOST NEVER. IN HIGH SCHOOL I CHOSE A YEAR OF SPANISH HOPING TO CAPITALIZE ON MY EARLIER EXPOSURE BUT I THOUGHT I REALLY WANTED TO LEARN GERMAN. IN COLLEGE (BUSILY WORKING TOWARD MY DEGREE IN NURSING) I CHOSE AGAIN TO SATISFY MY LANGUAGE REQ WITH THE MOST FAMILIAR- A YEAR OF SPANISH. SO WHY CANT I SPEAK SPANISH? HOLA...MY NAME IS...GRACIAS...DE NADA...POR FAVOR. I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY LEARN IT ONE DAY AND FULLY INTEND TO BUT THE TIME IS SPEEDING UP AND I AM BUSY WITH FRENCH-BONAFIDE FRANCOPHILE- AND DUTCH-MY FIANCEE IS A NETHERLANDER. MORE LATER...
