100. Learn how to count to 10 in 5 new languages

We'll see how useful this will be... For the last several weeks, I've been working on learning how to count to 10 in different languages. My brother and I worked on a few together with his super-useful flash cards during a road trip to Indiana. On that trip, we learned how to count in Latin, Italian and French. French was my favorite at the time because I get to talk like a snob. I learned Spanish in high school ( hey, still counts! ) and tonight I finished up German. I like counting in German because you automatically sound German just saying the words - not really the case with the other languages. It's been fun learning these foreign words but I'm guessing that English will still be my go - to language for counting.

For the record, those "super-useful flash cards" got thrown away about twenty minutes after that trip.

One more thing to be proud about! When do you think you'll use your newly acquired knowledge? "Use it or lose it" is really true. It's amazing what I don't remember anymore.:)
