I won't be around for a while tomorrow as my son is in a Military Parade and we are going to watch him. They are wearing some historical uniforms and they look quite good, I'm excited to see him in it.

Hope you have a great day.
Brought this convo piece from the Josh and Diane thread to continue.
I learned French at school but they mostly concentrate on verbs and correct tenses instead of teaching us how to converse - anyway we only learn in High school whereas to learn anything new it is best to start much younger. My husband's sister moved to Italy when she was about 16 and married an Italian so stayed there. Her sons don't speak English as she never bothered to teach them and her husband refused to learn. We haven't seen her for years as she stopped communicating with us and has not answered any correspondence for years.
My husband's cousin sent his sons to the Caribbean to learn Spanish and they are both fluent, which is just as well as they are both married to Central American girls. Their children are being brought up with both cultures and languages which will be great for them in the future. The girls are both pretty fluent in English now as they have been to lessons especially developed for non English speaking immigrants.
