We studied English and American History in the morning and Spanish and Venezuelan history in the afternoons at school. I don't speak it fluently any longer. I picked up a bit of French when I lived in Belgium and a smattering of Turkish when I lived in Turkey. I try always to be able to at least get the niceties out and shop in the language of the country where I live or visit. And I'm now learning American Southern speak! :-)<BR/><BR/>Bess McBrideAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759886030634774163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502645867665779577.post-49381044323187165552008-11-18T17:35:00.000-06:002008-11-18T17:35:00.000-06:00All right, Mary!

Although my childhood sounded idyllic, it was not, and that actually helps me create three dimensional characters with flaws and fears and all the rest of the "oh so human" traits. It helps that I'm a mental health therapist as well. :-)<BR/><BR/>Bess McBrideAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759886030634774163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502645867665779577.post-39290248025588487182008-11-18T17:26:00.000-06:002008-11-18T17:26:00.000-06:00Cate, How lovely of you to stop by!
