Hello everyone my name is Nicole and I am Italian and Armenian. I was born in the United States and the first language I learned how to speak was English. My Dad can understand and speak Armenian fluently, and my Mom can understand Italian but doesn't speak it on a daily basis. I was never really taught by my parents how to speak both Italian and Armenian. When I was younger for four years I went to a sleep away camp up in Boston and it was an Armenian camp and while I was there I had learned to speak Armenian and write in Armenian. It was really fascinating to be able to learn another language other than English and to be able to write in another language as well. I learned Italian not so much from my family, but when I took Italian in high school. Since I didn't keep up with speaking both Italian and Armenian on a daily basis I have forgotten how to speak both languages. If I was to speak those languages as if I spoke English I wouldn't have a problem remembering.
I think different languages other than English are easy to pick up on if you speak that language everyday. If you really want to learn a new language and you are dedicated to learning it you will understand and pick up on it easily. What makes me really curious about language is how it was invented and how important it is to everyone until this day. Without language there would be nothing, no one would understand each other and no one would be able to really communicate other than using motions and hand gestures.
