lol@judyk. That's too funny! :o) I'm American English. At the age when most kids had foreign languages offered in school, I was in a very rural community and none were offered. However, as a small child, we lived in Germany for three years since Dad was military. In my late 20s, because of a friend's kid taking German in high school, I discovered that I can read (most of the textbook) German. Now, that was weird to discover! :o) I pick up accents nearly overnight tho'. Probably from Dad's service years.
