How many people are raising their kids to be bilingual English - other
Many people are spending years in school for English now. Will you raise your kids with English at home? My wife who is from the Philippines learned English first, then the local dialect from kids in the neighborhood, then Tagalog in school along with English. I had a French tutor who was raised speaking English, French, and Korean. When with her mother only they spoke French, when with her Father alone they spoke Korean, and together English.

Ghost stories
My wife told a story to me recently. Her friend who is from the Philippines, and lives nearby was using Skype to talk with her family back home. After they had finished the one back home in the Philippines sent a message asking who that person was standing behind her while they had chatted. My wife friend said there had been no one there the whole time.
The house this woman lives in is rented by a friend of mine who also owns another house just down the street. He told me once that the woman renting this other house has told him that her retarded son often talks to someone in his bedroom when he's alone. These two houses are very close and right across the street from the cemetery.
Several other house in town have ghost stories associated with them. Anybody have one?

What methods for learning to speak have you found to work, and not work.
I had a few lessons online with "teachers" who just listened as I tried to talk. Was not helpful at all. I have no access in person to any for French which is what I'm studying. I'm only concerned with speaking. I can read, I can understand someone speaking to me. What is the best method ?

What was the stupidest thing you ever did
I asked this once in a Facebook group and got some fun answers. Many involving alcohol. Mine was how, after reading in our local news paper about a baby elephant at the zoo. I broke into the zoo to steal it. I had done no research and found to my surprise a baby elephant, or at least that baby was not the size of a puppy but the size of a car. I'll never forget standing next to him. I don't know what it says about me that no alcohol was involved in this failed attempt.
