wtf?


Spanish and Tagalog share similar verbs and nouns. Art was able to follow my conversations with my wife who speaks Spanish.

"If his son also speaks Tagalog, that is."

Unfortunately, my son, having been born and bred here in the US, doesn't speak or understand Tagalog. (In retrospect, we should have been speaking the dialect more when the kids were growing up so they could have learned/preserved the heritage).

But I wasn't counting on conversations to ignite a spark, wouldn't just the chemistry of the aura of two people be enough, and let that transcend and be all the reason to overcome the language barrier? Ha Ken? :-)

You never know. If your son sees himself speaking Spanish with a significant other in his future, taking a conversation course would be a good idea.
