I'm a PhD student studying Spanish history so I read everyday in Spanish (less often in Catalan) - I also speak and
text to some of my friends in a weird mix of Spanish/Catalan/English. To increase my language learning I often write my notes in Spanish when I attend lectures, which can make it interesting if someone wishes to borrow your notes... I'm lucky, and I know it. Now if only I was a Spanish history lecturer who lived in Luxembourg, then my language possibilities would really skyrocket! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm working in the marketing industry, for the biggest (and best) company in the world (G.....), in Dublin, Ireland.
My native language is French, which means I'm working on the French-speaking (French / Belgian / Swiss / French Canadian) market. Yet, as I'm neither working in the sales dpt nor in some sort of customer service, I never really have the possibility to "speak" French. My colleagues are German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Greek, etc... So we all communicate in English, which is a bit sad I guess, in so far as this multi-cultural environment would prove fantastic if any of us were to study one of the languages aforementioned. By the way, one of my colleagues, who is Hungarian and comes from a monolingual family, happens to speaks fluently English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Russian, and Hungarian. Hats off. Anyway, as my girlfriend is Spanish, that's the language I speak at home. 1 person has voted this message useful |
