[The Ornery One]

To start with, I think that if you are going to move to another country, you should learn that countries main language. I wouldn't move to another country without being able to at least speak enough of their language to ask questions. Also, it seems like people in other countries, other than US, are more likely to speak a second language. I wish that US schools would have more choices in foreign languages and had it available in the lower grades, not just high school. When I was in school, the only classes available were spanish, french, and latin and they were only available in high school.
My son has picked up a lot of spanish from watching Sesame Street but will probably forget most of it in the next few years. It's also to bad that my grandma doesn't remember very much serbian, or she could have taught me a little.
