Reading your blog reminds me how inferior my writing is.
See! I can't even write that sentence without ending it in a preposition.

Not at all! At least you know what a preposition is. ;-)

Turns out I don't. @sharingeverybite informed me that "is" is a verb.
On another note, regarding the languages you mentioned in the post. I've been learning Spanish for about a year. After I'm fluent or close to fluent in Spanish, I was planning to start learning Mandarin. When fluent in English, Spanish, and Mandarin, you can communicate with most people on Earth.
Steemfest might throw a wrench in my plan, though. Because I should learn some Portuguese if going to Lisbon in November. English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Portuguese. That covers most of the languages you mentioned.
Aha, I suppose it is, and of course it is taken from to be, something I didn't know until I started learning other languages.
Spanish is great, I love it, and am (almost) fluent myself, I have just started learning Mandarin, which is hard as hell, but fun. Even though you can learn it using the lettering we're all familiar with, it still hurts my head to remember stuff.
I would love to learn Portuguese as well, though the Brazilian version, as I love the sound. I find when it is spoken by people from Portugal, it sounds a lot more Slavic.
A friend once said to me that; "Portuguese is Spanish with your mouth full!"
