Ich war im Deutschland mit den US Army fur 15 monate im 1984 - 85 und ich studiert Deutsch im die Universität Massachusetts fur ein jahre.

I have very little opportunity to practice my German now that I am about 30 years removed. I also learned to speak Spanish in High School. Again, that was a very long time ago. I did practice with Spanish speaking soldiers years ago.

English is a Germanic language and is very similar to English. Most Romanic languages; latin based are also easier to learn because English has several Latin root words carried over from the French language.

I've always had a strong propensity for learning foreign languages. I have no experience with Asian languages.
