    The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

    I'm the least you could do
    If only life were as easy as you
    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

      Wow. Just looked back at that and realized I sure did run away with things, didn't I? *sigh*

        send him out here for a year doc, and I'll send him to a J elementary school.
        Should keep him busy learning new things
        *as a side note, and being an Ex-language teacher, the best time to learn a second language to obtain native level is pre age 10 or so.

        English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

          He's already taking Spanish

          He has a friend whose family speaks it at home, so Erik decided to take a 2 hour/week Spanish "class" at school in lieu of a couple of his gym classes. He also has a Spanish tutorial he reads regularly.

          Like I said; self-motivated.

              Esperanto?
              Many claim some intriguing results of learning it, when it comes to learning other languages later...

                Spanish is enough for now, and becoming pretty much essential in many parts of the US. If he were to ask about learning another one later I'd probably say either German or Chinese.

                  But...it's not a matter of "for now", it might be too late if he will learn Spanish for too long!




                  And, more seriously, I just find the linked thing very interesting, and consider it as, in worst case, "not harmfull". Probably it gives a lot.

                  Anyway, it's a moot point if he wants to learn Spanish
