I agree with you, my grandmother spoke only italian then my dad was bilingual... I can speak a little italian, a little creole, and cuss in afrikaans. Unlike some folks, I don't mind knowing more than one language to expand my mind. Spanish is a wonderful language. I'm quite fluent in it myself.

I'm quite impressed with any American who can speak another language other than English. It is very difficult to use any other language here. In other parts of the world, such as Europe, knowing and using multiple languages, is quite common. I think Spanish is probably the only second language that would be of actual use to an American.
