Since very young I have always had a fascination for foreign countries and the languages they speak, and their culture. In my early 20's, on my way to Switzerland for 2 1/2 years, learning German, as an LDS missionary, I remember looking down, at the Continent, and someone remarked that's Old Spain. An excitement went through me, that is still with me. I am now fluent in several languages, and can understand several others, and have started study on many others. Foreign language grammar books have always interested me. I can be fascinated with the subjunctive case in each of the Romance Languages, or in Vulgar Latin, or be learning grammar and vocabulary in old Norse. If I stay 5 days or 5 hours in some country, I start acquiring language skills in it. My dreams are always the same, speaking a foreign language, losing my passport, wondering how my family is at home, where my wallet is and wandering.
