After a total of 8 yrs of French (grade, high school, and college), I can't speak a word of it. Doesn't make me arrogant, just makes me dumb when it comes to languages. Europe has an advantage in that a lot of countries practically sit on top of each other. They get to practice other languages where we, here in the USA, don't always have that opportunity in our day-to-day lives. I wish I could speak another language... it just doesn't stick in my head.
But, there is a language I can speak. Its called QUILTING! And, it's a very universal language at that!! >>>>
