I speak English as a main language. Single Father of 1. I've never been great at filling out these "About Me" sections. I'm a huge Movie, tv, and anime fan. I have traveled all over the USA which gives me a good understanding of how English is used in different parts of the country. I have 2 two adopted sisters from Paraguay and 2 (two) adopted brothers from Russia. I have a huge interest in the Asian culture. These are some of the reasons I am passionate about learning Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. I learned Spanish first in highschool (grade 9-12) in 1999. I am starting to study Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Taiwanese. It is one of my dreams to tour all over Asia. I leave my computer on alot. If it says I am online and I do not respond I apologize. I am always open for conversations. If you friend me you will find my messenger info for faster responses.

    How do you pronounce Müller (German) in English (spelled Mueller) ? In English we have to say "Miller" to correctly pronounce our name "Mueller" since there is no German Umlaut ü in English. There are many last names that are written "Miller" in English which are pronounced correctly, however the majority of people with the last name "Mueller" spell it "Mueller" even though their families origins have relations to Germany/Scotland/Poland etc. Also if you live in the US with the last name "Mueller" and you have researched your family immigrated from overseas over 3 generations back, would you choose to say your name "Miller" ? I say "Mueller" - mule+ur to ensure that the name is written correctly. My family always debates this. Thank You for any help = )

    Your Inspiration What is your Inspiration for learning a second (2nd) third (3rd) ... language? How did you start learning a second language? A lot of us played some type of video game as we were growing up. Personally one of my favorites was developed in Japan. As I grew up I started to realize that I was more interested in games that were developed in Japan versus games developed in the USA. Some people think of learning a language as getting 1 book in your language and the same book in another language. Compare the 2 and you can start to get some understanding of the foreign language. I wanted to play games that were never translated to English so I would import them from overseas (Japan, Europe, China), download the entire script in English and the foreign language and play through the game. I did not learn a whole lot that way but it was the early thing that got me fascinated in other cultures at such a young age. I found a good article you can find it on google by searching "pdf Seven hundred reasonsfor studying languages" The first result is the article. It covers not only the most popular 7 reasons for someone to learn another language but also how learning other languages has an inpact on the entire world.

    I am looking to tour many spots in China.  So far I have seen some good places and some that are not that good.

    I like visiting small places with history however I would love to live in a heavily crowded area with many things to do.

    That's it for me. = You are expressing that you are done with what you are doing. If used after a long period of time with another person it can have the added meaning of you are ready to leave / go to sleep (tired).

    The best solution is to find a partner to exchange questions with. Someone that speaks your language and who is learning the language you are learning also.
