In response to Why Michele, you are a polyglot! ;-) nfm, written by Constanza on June 17, 1998 at 15:42:39

Back to the Library:-D Not quite, but thanks for the compliment. My foreign language knowledge is more the proverbial "a little learning is a dangerous thing."!!!

I did take Spanish in school from 1977-1983, but I am woefully out of practice. My parents' (and, at that time, my) next door neighbor is from Colombia, so my Spanish got a good workout!

It's embarrassing how clumsy most Americans are with foreign languages; Europeans, Asians, and South Americans put us to shame with their command of English, French, etc.
