My parents are Swedish and Norweigan, so I grew up hearing that all the time (though they tried not to speak in front of the kids) and am fairly fluent. I took German for four years in H.S. and in college; not too bad in that, but rusty. My husband is Japanese..can understand a lot, but that's something I'd really like to study and learn. I did take a course in A.S.L as I had many deaf patients in the recovery room and knew it would be a great comfort to them after surgery, to be able to communicate easily with someone.
