Impressed by the results, or by knowing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' in German? Personally, I'm more impressed with the latter. :P

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is from words from other languages being integrated into English. That's where a lot of the inconsistencies and multiple spelling rules for one sound originate.
Just think, if you were in Europe and wanted to travel, you would probably have to learn at least 3-4 languages. We're spoiled in America having almost an entire continent that speaks English.
I agree that learning languages is fun, but it really should start in Elementary school, that's when it is easiest for a person to learn. It would be cool if children those ages could choose a language to learn and then keep with it through high school. It would make fluency in a foreign language much easier than starting in high school. Some elementary schools do teach Spanish, but I think the choice would be much better, since some kids are not interested in Spanish, but might enjoy other languages.
I'm a leaf on the wind

as far as my body could take me without breaking anything. being a stuntperson would ROCK. XD
holy crap, i completely agree on the learning languages starting in elementary school, especially since pretty much every linguistics person will tell you that the best time to learn and retain a language is before the age of seven (doesn't mean you can't become fluent after, it's just that before that age the brain hasn't completely locked into one linguistic structure). trying to learn a language in four years of high school and know it well enough to hold a conversation is near impossible ><;; comprehension ends up better than speaking ability.
*sigh* i guess i'll just have to live with rosetta stone (if i could frakin afford it ><;;)
