Another meme.

As always I do hope you will take the time to join in the meme and let us all know a little something about yourself, your life, your likes, dislikes.
It gives something to blog about and helps build friendships.

  I can read French  and biblical Hebrew. I can speak some French but not as much as I once could . In high school I learned Russian and read Crime and Punishment by Dostoyvsky in the original as well as Anna Karenina. 
 I have read some of the great French novels in their original as well,like Les Miserable. 
 I want to learn Italian

2. What countries have you visited?
  Canada

3. Which places impressed you the most on your travels? The Rocky Mountains , Prince Edward Island and the Florida Keys


4. Have you been on a cruise?
  No, but I wanted to sail to Tahiti and Bora Bora as a kid. 

5. Is there a place you really want to see?

  Pompei, Cinque Terre,in Italy.
 Also Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England, Cornwall,etc.

 6. Could you live in another country? Why or why not?
  I could easily live in Canada.
 I like the people and the land is lovely.


7. Do you have family in another country? Do you keep in touch?

 I have family in Canada, Scotland, England, Wales, Spain and Hong Kong, China. We email now and again.

Now it is your turn.

  1. hi Annie, How nice that you know so many languages. I just updated my blog with your last meme and I will work on the new one. How did you learn those languages? I think learning Biblical Hebrew would be cool.

    1. I learned languages in school.
      Hebrew is very easy to learn and you can learn the letters in a day or so and be reading quite quickly. :)

  2. What a fun meme, Annie! I will join in today. I am very impressed. I've always wanted to learn Biblical Hebrew. Can you read the actual characters or the transliteration?
