Habla usted espanol?... Do you speak Spanish?

摘要

SOME time ago, I took several years of Spanish in high school and college. I was also required to take a written foreign language as a requirement for my Ph.D. at the University of Kentucky. I remember a student in my class who was Chinese. I was amazed by his ability to go from Chinese to English to Spanish back to English to Chinese with every sentence. I was having enough trouble with two languages, and he was dealing with three.
