She is very good in english it seems... I know she's Finnish (like me), but sometimes she makes me wonder where/how has she learned such fluent english... Maybe she'll pop up in this thread and inform us...

I can't help but to express my constant amazement and impressed feelings toward all of you who are bi- or multi-lingual. On a regular basis, you all seem to have better grammer and knowledge of more words than I do, and I've been speaking English since before I can remember, reading since before primary school, and writing soon after. My only foreign language is Spanish, and if I were a member of a Spanish speaking forum, I would be absolutely lost. Once again... amazing.

Try it sometime. I go on a French speaking forum sometimes. Utterly bewildering experience.

...I didn't actually realise that; I just put down Manchester, United Kingdom, as it is the largest big city near me - and it seems to have just placed me pretty much wherever it liked. I shall now have to find out exactly where Slater Wharf, my apparent new home, actually is
