Help with my Linguistics project!
In my eternal quest to become smarter without actually attending school, I've started doing independent studies of non-credit bearing university classes. I'm doing Intro to Linguistics currently and it's awesome! I can learn the material on my own time, nobody gives me a grade or sets arbitrary deadlines for me except for me...I know some people

In what country/ies did you grow up speaking this language? U.S.A.
In what other language(s) are you fluent? None
What other language(s) have you studied (but not to the point of fluency) and what is your level of competency in the other language(s)? I have an intermediate knowledge of Spanish. So basically, I can carry on a pretty simple conversation, read stuff on the level of standard news stories, and that kind of thing. So not at all fluent, but I can get by.
At what age did you begin learning the other language(s)? 14
In what country, and in what setting, did you learn/study the other language(s)? I studied Spanish in high school in the United States. I studied it more in college in an informal setting -- I had a friend who was a native speaker of Spanish who was trying to learn English, so we'd get together and talk in English for a while and talk in Spanish for a while. I really wish I'd thought to try to learn it as a child instead!
If you could magically learn to speak any language RIGHT NOW, what language would you choose? Spanish. I would be so, so happy if I could speak fluent Spanish!
What is your age? 28
