I studied Greek for two terms in college. It was the fourth language I’d studied, but the first that required me to learn a new alphabet. 🙂
Hi Bluebird, I never even thought about having to learn a new alphabet in order to learn a language! But learning is wonderful in any case, right? You studied 4 languages? Amazing. Have you been able to practice them by traveling to each country?
I’ve never had occasion to use Spanish, which I didn’t stick with long enough to become fluent anyway. I did get to use my French when I spent six weeks in France, many years ago. Latin and Greek have helped me to understand the English language much better, so I’m glad I studied them.
