SwoLy-D is a member in this BBS, who is mexican, but he lives in Houston (Katy), and he moved up there several years ago.
I studied Mandarin for 8 years in college, grad school, and some time in between because I was studying Chinese history. Interest in tai chi came later. I did study with Cheng Jin Cai for a little over a year, but I haven't been out there in a while... now I just practice on my own.
Only English. I took Latin in high school and Spanish in college. Unfortunately the college class was worthless because our professor couldn't speak English, so we didn't learn much and he ended up giving everyone A's and B's by default.
Indeed. Though twas Oldnews's use of emoticons in the same fashion as Swoly that caused my momentary confusion.
Sou americano, menino/a(?), mas tinha muitos amigos brasileiros no passado. E melhor dizer "caralho, que bom" do que "que bom caralho" (ao menos que 'ce seja brasileira, mas nao sigo sonhando, 'ta?)
yeah i'm american too, but have a lot of friends from brazil...i actually made my first trip down there a month and a half ago. i got a chance to check out rio de janeiro, sao paulo, and caraiva (bahia)
I can speak, read and understand English and Spanish, and I know a little French and Latin. Although my language of choice is Texan.
<-------- late to the party. Not at work today at all since daughter has FLU. English and Spanish well, both spoken and written. You mean "somewhat". Should be "Dos. Español e inglés." None. You should be commended for trying. You probably speak more correct English than native-speakers. NICE. Nice to meet you, OLDNEWS. You're NEWnews to me.
3 Dutch English German. I can understand Africaans(south african). i can understand a little French, and even less shangaan.
