Rick Santorum Tells Puerto Ricans To Speak English If They Want Statehood

[Ziggystrange]

63. My Spanish

I can't take the credit. My dad was a diplomat. I went through Kinder-garden, and 1st grade in the Dominican Republic,and 2nd through 7th grades in Puerto Rico. Lived in Venezuela for a while. Then I had Spanish and French in HS here.

My first wife is from Brazil and did not speak a word of English, it was all Spanish until I remembered Portuguese which I had learned at 4 yrs old and forgotten. I'm learning Russian from my 3rd wife.

"My wife and her brother and sisters speak English when they're together but Spanish when my Mother-in-Law is present. My Mother-In-Law's English is prety good though. "

That is very cool, and common. In my house you are always hearing at least 3 languages, we made a deal to speak different languages to the kids. I speak English, my 84 yr old mother speaks Spanish, my wife speaks Russian to our 16 yr old. It can get confusing but the funny thing is the dog is the one that understands what everyone is saying. LOL.

Peace, and long live multiculturalism.
