I have always been drawn to learning languages, seeing it as a way to break one of the basic barriers we encounter when visiting another human settlement not as close to home. ;D The idea of being able to effectively communicate with all of the people in a particular country (as big or as small as it may be) by simply learning a language fascinated me for as long as I can remember. :) English was an obvious choice, since it was omnipresent throughout my childhood, adolescence and adulthood. It opened doors for me in so many ways allowing me to connect to most of the world and much more - simply by learning ONE language. Amazing! :D I've had German for 6 years in elementary school but I haven't been using it for over a decade so I really need to work on that and not let those 6 years go to waste! ;D Spanish is something I got to learn by being exposed to hundreds and hundreds of hours of Latin American "telenovelas". I still can't get that voice announcing each episode by saying - "Televisa presenta" out of my head! :D Those of you who have seen any of them know what I'm talking about! ;D But, it did allow me to get to know another beautiful language, so I guess it was well worth it. :) I am also a technology enthusiast, occasional gamer and a HUGE music lover. :D OK, I know this field is called "Long User Introduction" but I may have taken it a bit too far now! ;D Keep learning! :D
