[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 754866, member: 18958"] Wow Chasejazz!! May I ask your heritage? That is, are your languages derived from family origins? I am absolutely fascinated by you. May I ask? Have you lived in any of these countries, (Italy, Portugal, Spain or their colonies)? I learned my languages in middle age by going to live in Guatemala, and Brasil, and a short while in Argentina. Then I began to live with a man who only speaks Spanish. And that knocked the Portuguese out of my brain, at least for now. So. I actually misrepresented my present Portuguese capacity. But I could get it back!! And I will!! Do your languages overlap those of your family of origin? I am curious too, if you look Spanish/Portuguese. In my own case I believed I had no link to either heritage, until I realized that I had partially Sephardic (Spanish) Jewish roots, and what I had done without knowing it, was recreate linguistically this heritage. It was as if my soul needed to speak these languages. Sorry to pry. I'm fascinated. [/QUOTE]
