Reading books, papers etc in foreign languages is easier than conversing in them. I had to take Italian for art history studies. Curiously I was able to read French better than Italian because French has a lot of English cognates (words that look and mean the same in different language) while Italian has a lot of false cognates (an Italian word can look just like an English word and have a different meaning). I've come to think of French as just English with more E's and L's. My Spanish comes from being around immigrants that have swarmed the area. I can hang ok on a construction site. I was taught the potty words first.
