Liz: I suck at languages. I mostly did very well in school but I barely passed Spanish. Probably the only reason I did was because we had enough non-language assignments to push me into a pass grade. (bringing food, dressing in costume, showing up for the foreign language fair). I did learn to say “Donde esta los banos?” though on those spring break trips down to Ensenada in college. Useful, ya know …

Question: Do you speak a second language?

The irony of this is that my husband excels at languages. He grew up bilingual (Armenian and English). Studied Hebrew and Greek in college.
