> > Wow! At German camp this last weekend (or was it the weekend before? Its a blurr) I got paired up with a German exchange student. the groups were made up of someone who had had a lot of german, and someone who had had a little. we were probably the most extreme pair. I had had 9 45 min class periods, and he 16 years. it was cool.

> > I'm hoping someday to be fluent... Hoping. Then again I do have a whole big long list of languages I want to be fluent in (basque, scottish gaelic, hebrew... russian.. it goes on)

Being fluent would be sooo cool. And they say each new language you learn gets easier.
My list, in order:
German
Gaelic
Spanish [for practical purposes]
French [don't know why]
to be determined at a later date

Basically, it gets less fun after Gaelic.

> Yeah. I enjoy learning new languages, and I'm pretty good at it (I'm the only CL in SoHo on *four* of the "alternate language" lists). I'm looking to take up Arabic, m'self.

Cool!
