Hi ilovestrategy
ORIGINAL: ilovestrategy

i speak English and Tagalog. My wife, a filipino, speaks English, Tagalog and 3 local dialects all 5 as if she grew up in that particular area. I still dont see how she does it.

Yo, it is great to hear that you and your wife speak many languages[:D]. It is really rare nowadays. Hope your children speak some too! Although my father and me speak Chinese dialects, my daughter only speaks English and Mandarin (examined in Singapore schools). Guess, my father and me are the "Last of the Mohicans"[:(][;)]
Cheers!
Patrick

My kid is almost 12 and refuses to learn a 2nd language. It's hard to force her when all of her friends speak only English
After 16 years, Civ II still has me in it's clutches LOL!!!
Now CIV IV has me in it's evil clutches!
