No biters huh? Ok, I will do it. I am doing some reports and I need the brief respite.

1. If you could live in any other country, where would you want to stay? Why? I would choose maybe Malaysia. I liked it there. Cost of living is bearable and it just seems like a happy place. Plus its warm. (I am not going to say Caribbean since its so easy to say that since I am from there).
2. Can you speak any foreign language (s)? If yes, how did you learn? If no, is there one you would love to learn? I can speak French, I learnt through High School and a series of French Class. I am also currently learning French at a higher level since I am very much out of practice. I can also speak Creole. I would love to learn Arabic - I know the basics but can't speak it.
3. Have you lived in another country? Where? How long? I lived for four years in SEA.

I wanna play so i'll do it!

1. If you could live in any other country, where would you want to stay? Why? I'd want to say England, only cuz i'm most comfortable with the language. But then i'd say Paris/France or Italy.
2. Can you speak any foreign language (s)? If yes, how did you learn? If no, is there one you would love to learn? I speak a bit of French, German and Spanish. French cuz of ballet and i took it in college; German i took in high school; Spanish cuz i lived in NM and you just absorb it.
3. Have you lived in another country? Where? How long? We lived in Butzbach, Germany for a few years when i was young cuz my dad's in the Army. But we moved back to the states when i was 5.

1. If you could live in any other country, where would you want to stay? Why? I'd love to live in either France or Italy
   
2. Can you speak any foreign language (s)? If yes, how did you learn? If no, is there one you would love to learn? I speak Russian, I grew up in Saint Petersburg and lived there till I was 15. I also speak some French, just randomly decided to learn it in college. I would love love love to learn to speak Italian, it's just such a beautiful language!
   
3. Have you lived in another country? Where? How long? Well, I lived in Russia till I was 15. I lived in Paris for a semester my junior year in college.

P.S. Karllen, where are you taking French lessons? I'd love to brush up a bit too, but don't know where to start aside from maybe a local college?

Lisichka:

My job is offering it, gratis for staff only, but before I took classes at Alliance Francaise in Dominica. They should have an institute here too.

Wait. Found it: www.fiaf.org

Good Luck!

England or Ireland - I love both so much I can't decide! I love the people in both locations!Can you speak any foreign language (s)? If yes, how did you learn? If no, is there one you would love to learn?
I used to speak German but have forgotten most of it. I can still read it pretty well though for some strange reason.Have you lived in another country? Where? How long?
I lived in London one summer while I was studying abroad and would love to live there now but it's just too expensive with the exchange rate and such.

1. I'd love to have a little place in Scotland or maybe a little villa in Italy.

2. I learned French in HS and Italian in college.  I've lost both almost completely.  I also know a tiny bit of Polish; enough to know when people are talking about me! Plus, I can curse in about half a dozen languages.

3. I lived in London for a bit. Just hanging out and traveling around. I wish I could have stayed longer.

1. I would love to live in Italy, or Berlin, GE, or Japan, or Spain... DH and I seriously considered dropping everything and leaving a few years back, but we chickened out.  

 2. My Dad's family is Mexican and we spoke Spanish with my Grandma when we were little, but I don't have any confidence anymore.  I can still understand most conversational Spanish. 

3.  Nope, I wish I could travel the world and live in different places each year... ah, to dream.
