start learning French

When I was at the Apple store getting a replacement power adapter, I got the Berlitz Beginning French CD. Additionally, I subscribed to all these French podcasts. While I was on there, I also subscribed to Japanese and Russian podcasts. After that, I decided to join French, Russian, and Japanese Meetups.

I have always been good with languages. Today, I got the biggest push to learn French. I took the kids to the park, and there was a grandmother with her grandson. I am pretty social, so I said hi and asked her if she lived around there. She didn’t speak any English and was from Russia.

I took one class of Russia in college, and still remembered the basics. I actually was able to carry a pretty ok conversation with her. It made me realize that I am not satisfied just knowing two languages. I want to learn more.

When I went to Aruba in 2005, I was shocked to see that the people always knew more than three languages, which is how many countries are.

French is a language that I have always loved listening to. Therefore, I have decided it’s the third language that I want to conquer.
