I wish I was better at foreign languages. I've taken classes in French, Spanish, and Latin. I even did pretty well in the classes, because most everything is written, but whenever it came to actually trying to carry a conversation, I freeze up. I have trouble thinking fast enough to remember vocab and conjugate verbs on the spot. The idea is that you're supposed to practice enough that you're not even having to think about those things, but I never could find the time/motivation to practice enough.
I think I may give Spanish another try, because if nothing else being able to say I'm fluent in Spanish would be a huge boost on my resume, for those of us here in the US.
