People don't seem to have much to say in this group - maybe waiting to see how it turns out? Anybody else love languages simply qua languages? I love Finnish - such a silly language somehow, having to make all their words out of not enough letters....

Hi, just ran across this group. I was raised almost bilingual with French, and can understand some German and Dutch. I learned Arabic from my ex-husband's family, have two semesters of American Sign Language, and I'm currently learning Spanish.

In English we say "I am hungry" ... in Spanish "I have hunger" ... in some African languages "Hunger is killing me." Interesting how culture impact how we express our needs.

I’m trying to teach myself Brazilian Portuguese. I’m using a couple of apps and I have sung a couple of songs in Portuguese on the karaoke app Smule. It’s going so slow.
