Hello Dianna,

Thank you for sharing your language experience. We think you should learn another language and show the process on you tube. Hollie tells us you are really busy with two majors, but surely you can work this in between midnight and 3am. just kidding. Best luck. Hollie's Language Acquisition Class at Texas Wesleyan.

Thank you! They're 6ish months old and just now beginning to actually look like dreads. I'm so self-conscious still. Your kind words boost my confidence. Thank you so much! :D

i was just wondering if you are a follower of the southern culture of honor, bc you seem like an urbanized girl, but you said you're from texas. just wondering from a psy- soc perspective.

i took spanish in 7th and 8th grade :P

[silvurhuntress]

Southern culture of honor. Wow.  I had to wiki that one. "using violence to maintain reputation" Nope, that's definitely not me! I may seem more urbanized than most because I've lived in and around Dallas all my life.

I've taken both French and Latin. The way Latin is taught is scarily intensive. It is very very easy to confuse words so they stress perfect knowledge of how things are spelled and conjugated. Whereas modern foreign languages want you to be able to function at a basic reading/writing/speaking level, Latin demands that you completely understand what you are reading, how it is working, why it is working the way that it is. At this point I know more Latin grammar than English, my native tongue.
