ricksilvawriting1. After your first language, what language would you most like to learn? Currently working on Chinese, and would love to make more progress on it.
2. Does your country have a second language? What is it? I'm living in China right now, which has a unified written language and a LOT of dialects. English is the most common second language here in Shanghai, and a fair number of people I run into here know a bit of English (most people's English is better than my Chinese, that's for sure!).
3. How many languages can you count to 5 in? To 10 in? List them. English, French, Vietnamese, Chinese (to 10). Spanish and Japanese (to 5).

4. What is the first overseas country you visited? And from where? Barbados from the US for Christmas vacation when I was a teenager.
5. What country do you most want to visit? And why? Ireland. I have some ancestry there, and I've had an interest in Irish history and mythology. I'd also like to get to Laos, which was on our list of places to visit when we lived in Vietnam, but we were never able to fit it in. It's still a doable trip from China, so maybe sometime in the next couple of years.
