Now the circle is complete! A thread for each of the languages that were taught at my high school, and I would guess most American high schools (I'd be interested in hearing which languages are taught at other ones). As I've said elsewhere, My Dad was in the Air Force and I spent parts of my childhood in Spain, Texas, and New Mexico. I started school in Texas, and was taught Spanish in the elementary schools in Texas and New Mexico. I've said that German is my second language, but I guess actually it's pretty hard to tell which I understand more of: German, Spanish, or Norwegian.
