Reply #25: I have a good friend who was born on the border [View All]

[ShortnFiery]

between Germany and France. She's still a French Citizen (ooh la la) but married an American and lives down the street. I love her accent, it's so beautiful.

But guess what? To survive traveling around Europe, one MUST speak, or at least become familiar with SEVERAL LANGUAGES. She speaks, French (native tongue), German and English. And I must say, on Yahoo messenger, she types as well as she speaks.

We really need to open our minds. Sure, I feel really freaky when I get a pedicure and everyone is speaking Vietnamese, but it's their shop - their business. Live and let live! :-)
