Ann, thanks for the link and for news of you. Thinking of you! Amy
Fun to read the blog! I identify with the language skills: first trying to get expressions down; next trying to read signs on buildings - bit by bit immersing oneself into the language and culture so as to understand and survive daily living!
Love, Irene
