Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Making Music is Language

Do you speak a second language? If so, what inspired you to learn it?
If not, what language are you interested in learning?

I have always wanted to learn languages. I have studied some Spanish from an online language app. Learned a few words of Germain out of a text I found in a yard sale. The Spanish I know is pretty much equal to Hebrew. I thought I should know Spanish because it is spoken by many USA citizens.

I studied Hebrew because of studies in the old testament. I can speak some old testament Hebrew, but I'm better at translating it since I never had any one to study languages with.

I can say the Shema because of studies I did in Old Testament and it is also found in Matthew.

And, I have a book about Meditation that uses the Shema. Psalm 1:2 "In God's law doth they meditate day and night." In 1380 Thomas A Kempis stated, "I have no rest, but in a nook, with the book."

There are ways to study Spanish that are easier then the app I use. It's fun to recognize a language if you hear it being spoken. I can hiss like a snake and yowell like a cat as well. I like to imitate sounds.

Arabic would be fun to learn or Greek and Latin because they are basic to biological names. The bird biology course I took, from Cornell University, has all kinds of biological Greek names in it.

See Ya!
