Language

I love different languages and have studied a few.

Spanish - I lived in guadalajara in grad school. I got quite good, was even able to have an argument with our landlord entirely in spanish.

French - spent my spring semester, junior year in Paris. Loved it. My french was okay. helped me when I traveled to Monte Carlo

Japanese - I took a Japanese business class. I learned how to say thank you and my name is victoria, nice to meet you - Watsishi wa Victoria san des, doso huroshiku. used it in manchu picchu of all places as there were Japanese tourists there. they spoke to me rapidly but alas i could not understand them. I used it a little bit in Japan, but couldn't say much

Russian - i took a russian studies class from my favorite teacher of all - Ludmila Brott

Chinese - i am taking with my son Trace in 2009

Funny thing is, when I am in a different country and i don't understand the language, i revert to a mix of spanish and french, but predominately french. It is perfect because then no one can understand me, even myself ;-)
