I am Ali. I've been to Canada too. I like the library and know Chinese. My dad is an electrician who retired. I play guitar with my dad. I know guitar and violin. I am a musician and so is my dad. I am starting a band with my dad. I enjoy playing music with my dad. I've been to Belgium and love chocolate. I would like to go to France. My dad may travel sometime but it's not a priority for him right now. I enjoy spending time with kids.
I'm Charlotte, I've been to Canada. I work as a librarian. I am 60. I live in the south and want to go North. I enjoy music. My daughter does not play music. I travel often and my daughter sometimes comes with me. I will be retiring in a few months and plan to travel once I do. I've always wanted to travel north. I want to go to France, and then Belgium. I enjoy Belgian chocolate. I speak Chinese and French, but could stand to study French some more.
Belgium also makes incredible waffles, in addition to their famous chocolates.  That's the theory, yes. I wonder if my language skills are good enough to go over there  I guess there's only one way to find out!  Would you take one trip to France and Belgium, or split them up? I'd probably split them up, the idea of going to one place and then immediately to the other is kinda intimidating. I've been thinking about asking my daughter to come with me. How old is she?  That sounds like it would be a great way to bond with her. She's 18, going to turn 19 next year and she's thinking of taking some time off before going to college so if I keep working until then and take the time to retire we could go together. Wow, that sounds great!  Does your daughter take French in school? She did actually, she started learning it and I started to help her study for her tests. She speaks much better than I do and was taking about going to France to maybe be an english teacher. I took chinese when I was in school and it's been my passion language.  I'm so impressed with your love of languages.  I also learned to speak Chinese to communicate with my some of my clients. Oh how wonderful. It's always nice to see the relief on people's faces when you can speak in their natural tongue with them. I remember I met a man who had just immigrated, he wanted to check out books on learning english but he wasn't sure how to properly phrase it so when I started speaking to him in his language he looked so relieved! I agree, I love being able to help people because I can speak their language. It's such a fulfilling feeling. He still comes by the library to check out books every week and it makes me so happy how comfortable he is coming here and speaking english now.
