Sometimes I love to just unplug everything and listen to the sounds of silence...it's very peaceful. Yes, I wish I had learned another language. I could speak and read French as a young girl, but after around 30 years of no practice, I would need to start all over again. Wish I had kept up with it.Tracy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960615884046852962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147719773752098767.post-83142471673998621632015-04-03T03:09:21.831+05:302015-04-03T03:09:21.831+05:30I took up French in HS.

As for languages I learned French and Spanish - my only regret is not using either so now I'm only fluent in English and I think that's a shame.

No regrets though, as I don't have much use for them where I live.

Wow, it'd be amazing to learn Arabic...Hi Nila!<br /><br />Wow, it'd be amazing to learn Arabic, but i'm a believer that languages are best learned when very young. It's a struggle for adults. I've always loved the French language-it is so melodious. I visited France for a 6-month stint once and by the time I left I was speaking like a native, but soon lost the fluency when I returned to Oz.
