English Your First Language?

I find it interesting that we are seemingly surrounded by folks who are bilingual or even trilingual.

I am even more surprised that there are quite a few in the US who speak, or were taught English as a second language.

I thought we were the only ones. Being raised Old Order Mennonite we were taught Penn Dutch German at home, then generally English as we entered school.

This has made me curious. How many on AFF speak multiple languages? I am sure there are many Spanish speakers among us , but also others.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
