Blog Challenge Day 28: Parlez vous Francais?

Do you speak any other languages? When do you think a child should learn a new language?

 As the title I chose indicates, I speak some French.  I took 2 years in high school and 3 more years in college, earning a minor in the language.  I don't consider myself fluent, but I did enjoy it.  I did alright until I basically ended up in literature and writing classes IN FRENCH.  Nope, over my head. I muddled through, but I think they may be right about saying there is a point where you can't learn anymore unless you immerse yourself in it.  I would love to travel to France or Quebec someday to try out my rusty skills!

I have also always been fascinated by ASL (American Sign Language) and it's on my bucket list to learn to speak it.  I know a few words and the alphabet.

I think it can be beneficial for a child to learn a new language and starting early is probably a good thing.  I don't have much interest in Spanish though, for a variety of reasons, and most other languages aren't really that useful!  Anyway, it's a great skill and if a child has the opportunity to learn a language.  Younger is probably better, but I think it's a good thing in high school as well.

This is part of a June blog challenge started by Mommy Someday at Waiting for Baby. Pop over there and join in so I can learn these things about you!

Quelle heure et-il?

Yeah showing off my mad French skills there. Translation: What time is it?

Answer: I have no fricken clue.

So I'm in Missouri, which is like an hour off Indy. Or something. See, Daylight savings time is a new thing in Indy. I don't know why I'm explaining this, seeing as my sis is the only one that really reads this and she lives there too. But anyways. Indy never changed clocks until last year. Then this year, they decided to wait and change the clocks later in the year than the rest of the country. So they changed last Saturday. So now I don't know what time it is.

It's...well I think it's 5:30 here. See, my alarm clock at the hotel says that. My computer says 6;30. My cell phone says 5:30. And my rental car says 6:30.

I hate time.

Je detest l'heure.
