<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 32295, member: 1910&quot;]As an American, some would argue whether or not I actually speak English.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I claim that one.&nbsp; In addition, I had to take ancient Greek and ancient Hebrew to graduate from seminary (both are similar, but not identical, to their modern descendants).&nbsp; My Greek is passable and my Hebrew is OK, more or less.&nbsp; The Greek is similar enough to Russian (and other Slavic languages) so that I can at least begin to piece together words.&nbsp; Give me enough words and I can start to piece together sentences.&nbsp; I took 4 years of German in high school and college, and can understand it when I read it, although I wouldn&#039;t try to speak it.&nbsp; But I can, when I watch the WWII movies, sometimes tell you when the caption isn&#039;t quite what the actor said in German.&nbsp; If I start from a familiar sounding word, I can sometimes have an elementary understanding of written Romance languages (Latin, Spanish, French, etc.)&nbsp; Because my church also has Korean and Taiwanese worshippers, I can tell the difference between those two languages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
