You speak English really well, in fact.

Australia is such an incredible country. You'd love it!

thank you, I seem to have a knack for languages. and I've always worked in international companies where English was the main language

I wish they were easier for me. I was learning Italian, but gave it up after a while. I can't get the similarities between in and Spanish out of my head. I thought it would make it easier but it doesn't.

That makes it worse... unfortunately.
