Lately I've been thinking about languages. How people communicate has always fascinated me. And then I began to think about languages in my life...
1. learning to read/write German before English (my mothertounge)
2. keeping my German, though dormant for 9 years, fairly fluent
3. becoming fluent in Spanish and Catalan between ages 9 and 10
4. despite #1, having very good language skills in English
5. being able to pronounce decently in Chinese- enough to surprise J, the native speaker who was teaching me
6. automatically making Slavic "l" sounds after watching Most, a Polish short film.
