I wish I would have applied myself more in the bigining to learning another language. People would say, you will do OK, everyone speaks english. It was easy and I do OK, but there are times when I don't always know what Jeremy an Hannah are talking about with their friends.

Thank you for what you wrote and for opening my eyes!Hulan Dannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707194131164727896noreply@blogger.com
