Administrators Gail Posted February 2, 2009 Administrators Posted February 2, 2009 My tutor says that I can consider myself bilingual. That is awesome, seeing as how I am mostly self-taught, not having access to immersion but just gaining information bit by bit. :) Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Taylor Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Awesome! English and Spanish, French, German or what? Quote

Administrators Gail Posted February 2, 2009 Author Administrators Posted February 2, 2009 I have... would you like to call me up? LOL My trouble is always one of confidence, and my tutor understands that. But when he and I talk together we have long conversations that go really well. It is the first time that I've had intense verbal opportunity and I wasn't sure how that would go. But it's been fine I have a couple of European friends, one French and one Belgian, as well as one Eastern Canadian, with whom I communicate, but's it's always written. It's coming along, though.

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted February 2, 2009 Members Posted February 2, 2009 congratulations, Gail! :smile: Quote Pam      Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Administrators Gail Posted February 2, 2009 Author Administrators Posted February 2, 2009 I thought it stood for Bi Lingual Friend. That works Just wanna say, I have no degree and very little post-secondary education. Don't let that stop you from doing something you really want to do!

Administrators Gail Posted February 4, 2009 Author Administrators Posted February 4, 2009 I just learned today that Helen Keller not only knew Braille and English but also Latin, French and German.
