Ironically, my grandfather fought in WW2, but I speak German and Japanese.

My dad saw Navy action against both Germans and Japanese, but then I earned German jump wings, and have toured a current, Japanese destroyer. It’s a weird world.

**** “Ironically, my grandfather fought in WW2, but I speak German and Japanese.” *****

TOO COOL !!!

I have a basic grasp of my mother tongue... My Ex spoke 8 different languages, English was her 3rd, she said that to her it was like music, you can hear a melody then you just learn the lyrics... (and for English... watch Old Black and White Movies, they spoke correct English back then and that made the syntax make sense to her)
