>I find it interesting to have grown up in San Francisco, California, with people who came from so many different countries. It seems that how a person thinks is closely related to what language they first learned and is his or her primary language. Take for example the topic of which comes first, subject or title?

>A Spanish speaking person when saying “casa blanca”, first expresses the concept of a house and then describes the color. The thinking process involved in this is very interesting. An English speaking person saying the same thing in English says “white house”, expressing the color and then the object.

Remember that in a minority of cases, the adjective does go at the beginning, as in English ("una buena idea", "un gran hombre"). I haven't quite figured out the rules, on when this is allowable...

>Another subject I enjoy is how music is affected by language. Music is an expression of language. Just one example is that there are many forms of music that have derived from Spanish speaking communities. With differences in intonation, the speed of speech, and accent, there are many rich and different forms of music in Spanish speaking countries.

Yes, I understand that there is a great variety of music. I particularly enjoy "negro spirituals" (we have a disk by Paul Robeson, for instance).
