I learned to speak French so I could tell JP off in his own language, Spanish because I couldn't help myself it is so pretty, some German so I could join in singing rounds during coffee breaks at a place where I once worked, and never thought a second about ergativity??????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-35046949618182596702009-10-13T00:45:53.299-04:002009-10-13T00:45:53.299-04:00Interesting topic.

I studied German in college, learned Spanish when I lived in Spain -- relearned when I lived in Mexico and learned enough Japanese to get by when I worked for a Japanese company.
