Growing up the words, “outside of the home English, inside Spanish” were repeated and ingrained in my head. Although feeling a bit frustrated with this growing up, I saw the advantages of knowing two languages when I began working. Like being able to translate for Spanish speaking clients when I worked in the legal field. However, I can admit to getting a bit tongue tied. At times even in the middle of a conversation. “How do you say ‘X’ in English?!” or “How do you say ‘X’ in Spanish?” Eek!

Hahaha love it! I always wished I could speak fluently in another language. I scraped by French & German in high school but now I barely remember odd words unfortunately. xx

Don’t feel too bad! It’s great but if we don’t, we don’t. 😊 I tried Italian and nope! Failed, miserably. But the good thing is that languages like Italian and Portuguese is that the sound a tiny bit like Spanish, so I can understand a little.

Excelente Michelle! 🥳 That’s amazing! Good for both of you.
And that’s a great idea. Perhaps one of my children will feel motivated and later in school learn a new language, and I can learn it with them. 🙌🏼

In that case I resort to the third language.
It sounds funny at times.

Yes it is. There’s an Italian family in my church and when they speak Italian amongst themselves, it’s quite simple to understand.

Shall I say that hub and I met at an Italian language course? There was a Danish movie if I remember correctly, very good and popular at the time, called Italian for beginners. Ever since we watched it, we’ve been saying we met at Italian for beginners.
