BigE 01-26-2007 07:40 AM

Fluent: English and American Sign Language
Advanced: Latin
I know a few words in Portuegese
I have an uncle who speaks six langauges.

I was thrown out of both my high school and college Spanish classes. I remember calling my high school Spanish teacher a puta. She really was one. I always try to tell the truth, even in another language. I couldn't hear the audio tapes and I asked them if I could just do it face to face outside of class. They all said no. I wonder sometimes if their intention is to educate young people or just be oppressors of the oppressed. Sorry, I'm ranting.

Cheers!
