That's awesome. You know my German grandparents said they spoke Dutch, which I never could figure out. Is it very similar to German? When they would get excited or angry, they would revert back to the "Mother language". I loved to listen to it, but never learned any of it.

Interesting. I am told... The natives in Pennsylvania asked the newcomers where they migrated from and were told they were "Deutsch" (or Germans) The language barrier did not work in their favor and the natives thought they meant "Dutch" - so even after the truth was known the immigrants were known as the "Pennsylvania Dutch".

Re: Anyone know Foreign Languages?
Hablo espanol un poco. I too am getting ready to study the language again. Hopefully it will come back to me easily. Also I am wanting to learn Italiano. I love the language and it is so similar to spanish.

Re: Anyone know Foreign Languages?
Wikpedia gives much more on the Pennsylvania Dutch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsyl...erman_language
Including this...
"Only Amish and Old Order Mennonites, i.e., the plain people, are passing the language along to their children in the current generation, although they were originally minority groups within the Pennsylvania German speaking population. According to sociologist John A. Hostetler, fewer than 10 percent of the original Pennsylvania German population was Amish or Mennonite."

Re: Anyone know Foreign Languages?
Foreign languages? I suppose Spanish would be foreign to my brethren of whiter pigmentation...I had three years of French (mais je parle tres mal!)
