I'm from Germany, so English isn't my mother tongue...I apologize for mistakes lolEven though, I prefer reading in English. So many things get lost in translation and I actually believe English has a better 'flow' to it than German.
Actually yeah. I mean we take English classes pretty early in Germany and I think the more you read, the more you learn :)
Oh, Spain is pretty nice. And Senegal is a country in West Africa.
I'm in sunny England... but it is raining at the moment, but then what do you expect for summer.
The worst thing about the weather here is it is really sunny and hot, but throughout the day you get lots of rain, so you either wear shorts and get soaked or wear trousers and get too hot.
I'm a California Girl. I consider our state its own country :-D

I love Spain. It was supposed to be my September trip this year, but circumstances beyond my control have made me have to put it off for a while... Go to the right parts of Cali it looks like parts of Spain or Italy. It is amazing how different and similar the world can look simultaneously!
Or so one of my favorite Disney Songs likes to remind us!
I live in California too @Susan.... BUt rn I'm in Montreal for vacation!!
So looks like I am the only one from the UK? Boy! It has been raining crazy today.
I was born in the East End of London, I was a snotty nosed gutter snipe we moved to Australia when I was ten and after university I traveled the world for 6 years then ended back here in the country town of Burra South Australia where we do say G'day and I planted an apple orchard and set up a cidery in between times I write all sorts of books, cook books, cider books, crazy whodunits and action adventures.
Thank you and if cider was cheap to post perhaps we could organize a competition but it is expensive to post, However, I do have an idea for a competition if Ashleigh is willing involving signed copies of my books.
No I think Hobart is the best city in the world but I am biased I don't live there but I do own land in Tasmania with a small apple orchard. It just occurred to me I don't want to advertise my own books but people were talking about cider and my book Cider Make it Drink it cook with it has instructions on how to make cider in the home with NO equipment, what could be better than that.
Pretty sure nowhere in England would be considered, all our cities I have been in smell, are very grey, noisy, polluted and empty shops everywhere.
But the countryside is very beautiful and you do have lovely villages and some really nice small towns.
Yes everywhere else is lovely, once you get out of the big towns and cities. I do a lot of walking and there are some amazing places. Even just outside the town I live in there are some amazing places.
¡Hola! that's pretty cool, I'm taking a Spanish class this year and my teacher is from Mexico ^^

Awesome! Spanish is pretty easy to learn, but maybe I'm just speaking for myself when I say that, because my dad is Mexican and he's the one who taught me. I'm actually American but I've been living in Mexico since I'm three. How advancend are you in Spanish? :)

Oh, just in the beginning. The class just started so I don't know that much. But the language is very beatiful and it is so much fun learning it ^^

If we actually made a thread about that, I think I would die of laughter, haha! Oh, and we can all schedule weekly classes together and try to coordinate our timezones in order to do that.

Not so exciting. But it's very descriptive. 'Seaford' :)
