Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

It's Just Talk

ow many languages do you speak? If you could instantly learn any language and be able to speak it fluently, what language would you pick? How would you use it and where would you go?

Language?

English is the only language I speak fluently.

I took beginning Russian in college. which consisted of social aspects of Russia and the Russian alphabet.

I've studied Spanish on and off and recognize words I hear sometimes. I also can read some Spanish, some french directions, and recognize a smidgen of German.

The language I studied the most is Hebrew. I started by taking a course in Biblical Hebrew sometime in (1980's ?). At the beginning of 2019 I started studying tourist Hebrew for the modern day with Drops. I soon discovered it isn't so far away from the Biblical Hebrew course I took. I can read Hebrew better than I can speak it .Although, I think I am getting the basic letter sounds pretty well now. I usually get a score in the 90's on a lesson even if I have not taken a lesson for a week or so. Basically because I study alone using phrases isn't happening. No one else I am near has any inclination to study it. I often say good morning and good evening to all my pets to bad they can't reply. I am considering working something out with Alexa? Plus, Drops is basically working on words not phrases. I have a better Hebrew vocabulary now but have to form it into phrases on my own. Next year when my Drops subscription is up I may try Babble.

I would like to study Greek or Latin because Latin helps with all languages and Greek is a basis in biological terms.

Get some flack from the religion police now and again, because they think I should have studied Greek because of New Testament. Some history of the times of Jesus I read, thought he probably spoke more Greek than Hebrew?? Upon thinking about this I believe he probably spoke whatever language the people he was with spoke?

Anyway, speak and write English I will be sure to reply.
