Very frustrating! Thanks for mentioning me in your post. I'm looking forward to the challenge. I've been so busy with my daughter's sports and taxes in the last few weeks it's been challenging to comment or post, but it should slow down for me this coming week. <br /><br />If you have any German suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-15191850197950863052014-05-01T05:19:24.005-07:002014-05-01T05:19:24.005-07:00I was sure I had commented already but looks like ...I was sure I had commented already but looks like something went wrong (which happens a lot lately with OpenID).<br />I found this challenge through you, so thank you!<br /><br />Looking forward to what you'll pick for German :)Carolahttp://blog.brilliantyears.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-8478687656891437972014-04-23T17:16:31.428-07:002014-04-23T17:16:31.428-07:00Thanks, Hellen, that's encouraging to know.

I know a minuscule amount of spoken Japanese from an exchange student we had live with us for a year, and a small smattering of Vietnamese words from watching Tour of Duty (an old Vietnam war series). I'd like to learn Russian, Italian and Japanese but I doubt I'll ever get around to it; I need to perfect the other languages first. <br /><br />It's nice to have this challenge for motivation, isn't it?!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-18773883599974480882014-04-17T19:50:28.031-07:002014-04-17T19:50:28.031-07:00If I read "See Spot Run" in Spanish, wil...If I read "See Spot Run" in Spanish, will that count?

It's nice to see another polyglot - I also speak French (poorly, but I can get by), and I have studied Russian and Dutch, and know a teeny bit of Spanish, German, Polish, Albanian, Swedish, Bosnian, and Japanese, but not enough to read a book in any of those, unfortunately. Vive les langues etrangers! :) Anja K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807435343847113353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-67977081389115871372014-04-17T07:23:07.204-07:002014-04-17T07:23:07.204-07:00Thanks, Ekaterina!
