What ho, what ho, what ho!

I've been curious, ever since we started talking about languages and cultures: where are you lovely people from?

I'm from Tunisia (a tiny country in North Africa). My native language is Arabic, but I also speak French and - obviously - English.

A hearty right ho back! I‘m from Western Germany, so my mother tongue is German, but I‘m planning on moving to GB.
I also speak Russian and tiny bits of Latin and Italian.

Oh, and my mum‘s been to Tunisia in the 80s and she loved it, I always wanted to go there:)

Lucky you! I would love to live in the UK. I visited London five years ago and fell in love.

Really? That's awesome! You're more than welcome here, and if you ever do visit, I would be happy to show you around :)

[darenotspeakitsname]

That‘s nice! Fair warning though, I‘m obsessed with history and archaeology, so I‘m one of these tourists who run into every museum in eyesight:)

[thesadchicken]

That's awesome, because I'm obsessed with history and archeology too and I'd be delighted to show you the best historical sites we have here and tell you all about our local mythology!

:D
If I ever have enough spare money, I‘ll rush southwards with all haste!
North African and Oriental culture and tribes have always fascinated me—and I love the food, hehe...

Oh, that was me, forgot to log in.

[thesadchicken]

If you ever do, please let me know, I'd be happy to show you around :D

New York City! I used to really want to move to London but it's expensive enough here already.

I speak a little French from school but I wish I had bothered to learn more.

[thesadchicken]

Wow, how's life in the Big Apple? All I know about NYC is from sitcoms like Friends and How I Met Your Mother lol

[cuddyclothes]

I'm also a NYC resident, have been most of my adult life.

[thesadchicken]

Wow, nice! I only know NYC through movies and TV. Must be a really interesting place to live!

I’m an American, but have done quite a bit of traveling in the Pacific and Asia, and have also been to Egypt and Sudan. I speak English and a tiny bit of Arabic, and have studied French and German but am way more comfortable reading them than speaking them. I’ve also studied several ancient languages.

[darenotspeakitsname]

Guten Tag! Wie schön, dass Sie sich die Mühe gemacht haben, unsere Sprache zu lernen :)

[thesadchicken]

That's impressive! I've been to Europe and America, and I was born in Canada and lived there for 5 years, but I'm ashamed to say that although I'm African, I've only been to one African country (my own lol). I should really visit Egypt, it's so close to where I live!

What ho! I'm from Germany. I speak German and English. My English may not be as good as I would like it to be but I love the English language. When it comes to books, shows and films and I'm given the option I will always choose the English version over a German translation. I've been to the US five times and twice to the UK.

[thesadchicken]

I've been to several European countries, but sadly not Germany! I may go there soon though, since I'm participating in a German program for young filmmakers, and if all goes well my short movie might be screened in Berlin!

I think it's safe to say that all Wodehouse fans are great lovers of the English language ♥

(I am Breval on the Drones)
I am from Belgium and my native language is French, I like to think I am fluent in English by now, I know some Dutch but does not speak it as well as I should.

[cuddyclothes]

I have to admit, I miss the Drones. Still, better to be where I'm wanted.

[korventem]

sorry, I didn't mean to rub salt into the wound :(

[thesadchicken]

I really want to visit Belgium!
