Not many that I know of. The only examples I know of are people who learned another language in high school and actually kept up with it because they wanted a career in languages. (I'm thinking of my sister the French teacher who didn't know a lick of French before high school.) Yes, it may not be totally necessary for anybody to know other languages, but it is still a good idea. I has been studied by neuroscientists that bilingual people have higher brain functions.MissMannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111173519948500730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-68485815913613149742012-03-24T18:18:13.645-04:002012-03-24T18:18:13.645-04:00Most non Americans speak a second language because...Most non Americans speak a second language because they were screwed throughout history conquered, enslaved, unable to compete large scale on the world market etc. It's not because they are more cultured as they try to portray now.

My step-grandpa who I thought of as my real grandpa cuz my grandma married him before I was born. Spoke 13 languages fluently. He was born in Italy. His dad was Mussolini's something or other. They traveled together with Mussolini before the start of WWII. He came to America when he was 17 and was the interpreter for JFK. He refused to speak German because he hated them for what happened in WWII but I know he knew it he just refused to speak it. Language is a neat thing. When I was a kid it was so annoying to go to my grandma's house because they ate bizarre things and English was not on the TV, ever.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540701992730212772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-38167745505422258432012-03-20T15:58:53.544-04:002012-03-20T15:58:53.544-04:00kids learn better when they are young.

Teaching when they are toddlers is best.<br /><br />Kids do say funny things. My favorite one was a little boy learning to read from hooked on phonics and he said "look mom its a freakin elephant!" she said 'what? where'd you learn that?' "Look! A freakin elephant!" She strolls over and looks at the page and sees AFRICAN ELEPHANT. <br /><br />according to how kids are taught phonics and reading he pronounced it correctPhoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540701992730212772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-25949210283289196302012-03-20T14:04:53.179-04:002012-03-20T14:04:53.179-04:00You seem a little too focused on race.

It's fun for parents to pick a weird or unusual or quirky name(or one from a tv show) but remember the child actually has to live with that name. He has to go to school and be made fun of and feel like a freak because you wanted to have a little fun with his name. As someone who grew up with a weird name, I think it is an awful thing to do to a child.Ashamed of my namenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-54054678806685131262012-03-20T09:43:19.930-04:002012-03-20T09:43:19.930-04:00I'm sorry I don't find racism no matter ho...I'm sorry I don't find racism no matter how subtle funny.Katienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-84603057149863369072012-03-20T09:15:02.750-04:002012-03-20T09:15:02.750-04:00This was hilarious!
