Hello! I'm Sherice! I'm 42, and am looking to continue learning and improving my Spanish and Valencian/Catalan conversational skills. I have a bachelor's degree in Spanish but where I am right now, there aren't many opportunities to speak the language. I love talking about anything and everything. I'm in the U.S. right now, but I've traveled all over Spain. I especially love Valencia... the people, the language, the food, the soccer team (AMUNT!)

Sherice has an awesome Spanish level. It’s been a very fun lesson full of idioms and she also made me feel like I knew her from the past 😊 you’re doing a very good job! Keep going and soon I’ll confuse you with an Spaniard 😉

Ha sigut un plaer conèixer a la Sherice i comprovar la seva motivació i determinació per millorar el català. Té molt clar perquè vol millorar el seu català i això és bàsic per aprendre un idioma. A més, té un molt bon nivell de castellà, fet que facilita l'aprenentage del català. Fins molt aviat, Sherice!

    Per què aprendre valencià? A penes estic començant a aprendre valencià, així que estic segura que aquesta pràctica de l'escriptura estará plena d'errors, així que, per favor, perdoneu-me per esclafar la vostra bella llengua. 0_0 Volia escriure sobre per què vaig triar aprendre valencià, en lloc d'un altre idioma més "útil" a més del castellà. Per exemple, el meu marit és d'Alemanya, per què no vaig intentar aprendre alemany ja que tinc un parlant natiu vivint sota el mateix sostre? Supose que la raó és perquè sempre m'ha atret el valencià. He viatjat per tota Espanya i ho he escoltat bastant sovint i per a les meues oïdes, sonava com una bella mescla d'espanyol, llatí i una mica de francés. Em vaig enamorar de la història de la llengua, i de com alguna cosa que s'ha utilitzat durant tant temps ha perdurat malgrat els canvis en la política, els governs i els propis països, per no parlar de l'evolució de la llengua. Depenent de la varietat del català, em sembla que o bé pren molt del castellà o bé manté feroçment les seues pròpies paraules, com l'islandés. Admire molt que una llengua puga mantindre's així durant tant temps sense patir canvis realment significatius. Per exemple, l'anglés que parle ara no s'assembla en res a l'anglés de Shakespeare o Chaucer. Encara que estic segura que el català de hui no s'assembla al del segle XIII, encara conserva moltes d'aqueixes estructures i gramàtica medievals, i això és un vertader testimoniatge de la bellesa de la llengua i de la gent que la parla.

    I look just like my dad, except I'm female. Same color hair, eyes, same facial features, everything. I cannot have children, but if I did, I'd like to pass on my eyes, hair and my ability to tan...my skin rarely burns, it just tans quickly!  Also like Ariana, I look young for my age :)

    Hi! In the U.S., this holiday is in May! I love my mom very much. She's a fantastic cook, and every day when I was growing up, we always had dinner around the table as a family and talked about our days. I miss that a lot now that I've moved out, gotten married and have a place of my own.

    I can instantly recognize Americans in Spain because they:
    1) Are shocked that a lot of places close midday. 
    2) Are baffled by eating dinner in the late, late evening 
    3) Seem to completely forget that sunblock exists
    4) Wear their swimming trunks/bathing suits off the beach. 

    If you're going to travel to another country for the love of McDonalds please learn a little bit about the customs and things to do/not do. 

    Also, if I got to see a beautiful Gothic cathedral in Praga, I probably really would sit there for hours and admire it. I love old architecture. 

    And never, ever, ever compare anything anywhere to something in the U.S. unless I was trying to understand more about what something is like.  And I definitely wouldn't say "well ours is better". Oh my God people who do that.. I want to yell at them :D

    One of my favorite things about learning other languages is how the culture shapes the language. You can tell a lot about the things that a culture values by the way people who speak that language carry themselves, how they act with each other, how they celebrate and so on. Every new language is like opening a treasure chest full of amazing things. 

    I just love languages :)

    I think it sounds lovely! I only know a few basic words and phrases in it, and I don't think I could ever perfect the accent. I really like the writing too, especially in cursive.

    I just recently learned such a saying in Valencian/Catalan! 

    Cel a borreguets, aigua a canterets 

    Sky like sheep, water in pitchers 

    Meaning it's going to rain a lot.

    I try to buy things that represent the country I am visiting. Not in like a stereotypical way, but something that the region is famous for. I also collect patches to sew on my backpack.
