Well, here in south america, excluding Brazil ( Brazilian Portuguese), Guiana (English), Freench Guiana (French) and suriname (Dutch) all other countries speaks spanish.
That is very interesting. I knew I had read that there was quite a mix of different languages spoken there, but I wasn't sure.

Ahh, I understand that problem. *Chuckles*
I get a page with a "404 error" ("File does not exist"), so I cannot hear those songs you posted.

Hi there, Sharifu. ^.^
I'm glad you enjoyed the topic! As you can see, I really love language and culture, and there is so much about it to learn. It's really fascinating.

LOL! Lucky you! That is really kewl. ^.^
If you ever get a chance, you should take her up on her offer and visit.

I've never been to Europe before, or out of the US for that matter... But I want to go to Europe next summer. I want to go to the Disneyland Paris Lea Meeting, and go to Finland, since my boyfriend lives in Finland. (Maybe England too, if I can make enough money by then) I can't wait! I love to travel and see new things!
I hadn't been out of the US before going to Holland in 2003, actually. ^.^ I was so scared and excited at the same time!
Your boyfriend is Finnish? That's kewl! Finnish is a really beautiful language, but quite complicated. (I have a friend who moved from Finland to Holland to be with her boyfriend and she's sent me some music and occasionally posts in her LiveJournal in Finnish, and I usually read it even though I don't understand a word!)
If you do get a chance to visit another country, I say you should jump on the opportunity! It can be scary, but it is SO worth it!
The Paris Lea meeting looks kewl, but I do not think I will be able to make it.. which sucks, because I would enjoy the experience. (Though I am nervous about France and their airport.. Charles DeGall or however it's spelled, *Hides* I had a connecting flight there when I was going back home from Holland, and I had a lot of trouble finding my way through it -even when asking for help, it was still a labyrinth and the people I talked to weren't the most helpful people I've ever talked to... they tried, but the language barrier was a problem.)
