snow

It's so nice here, a lot of snow and quiet. We've spent some time playing at snowballs and Egor've fought against three adults and won :-)) I like it he could do it that cool and confident for three years old, but I'm not happy that he took accuracy after his father

As somebody who only speaks and writes English, I'm amazed at you guys who can do both or either in another language.

Thank you. Most of the time it's fan and I like it, the main problem with it - there are almost nobody I can speak English with.

I understand completely. When J. and I are alone and when I do my shopping around here, I speak only in French. With most of the other people in my life, I speak in English. Sometimes I get mixed up and speak "Frenglish".

Other times I forget words, although I've been speaking French fluently for 35 years now, so it's pretty natural for me. Sometimes it's the English words I forget! =>}

When our "kids" visit, I often speak in French to J. and then in English to them, although they're both bilingual too. It leads to some funniness, especially since our son-in-law doesn't understand French. *g*

I'm just a mixed up kid. =>}

Oh, it sounds interesting though. I wish I can speak other language except Russian fluently. I've studied German, Greek and Latin also, but remember only bits and pieces - couple of words there, piece of poerty here :-))

I've studied Latin, Ancient Greek, German and Spanish, but I don't remember much of any of them. *sigh*

Wow!
I've studied Ancient Greek too, though I'd begun from Modern, except several words and expressions to travel now the biggest thing I remember by heart (though don't know why) are words on the tomb of 300 Spartan's and from Latin i remember the beginning of Gaelic wars :-))
My sister knows Spanish a little, French and English better, Italian a little. It turned out with the years she's faster to catch with the language than me :-)
