Inglise keele ajalugu, essee "My languages"
ten years younger mates envy come from my year of living in Narva (literally starve or learn!) and
talking to a variety of Estonian-Russian roleplayers I know. (But since they are also fluent in
English and most in Estonian as well, it turns into a stew of languages very soon.)
Chronologically the second language I started to learn was French. That was because of the
Descartes Lyceum. Don't remember much of that, except for half a dozen badly spelt childrens'
songs. Alouette is a really cruel song about tearing different body parts off a lark just to teach kids
the names of those parts (and they are not even lark but human parts). I remember one of our young
teachers used to play guitar in class and sing for us. That was really cool. Unfortunately we moved
and my French studies took a long break, until my one but final school, but there I met a teacher
who was anything but good at French, and not only because she was actually a German philologist.
