Both, Russian to English and English to Russian. I also know French, but I don't normally use it... Honestly, I do not like the language. I also understand some Spanish, but I doubt I will have time to finish learning it and speak fluently.

Thankee, Sai Rosie Real.
Two things:
- Being the first person ever in the history of my family to go to university. I hated it, but I made it.
- Not killing myself with alcohol. Never joined the AA or any other ”program”, so I don't keep track of the days, but I am quite sure it's more than ten years since my last drink now. The best thing is that I don't miss booze.

Me, too Lina - I am not a big fan of the French language, even though my Dad was French from Quebec and I took a six month French course in Quebec - they use too many syllables to say the same thing that we can say in English much more simply.
There is nothing silly about this. I have the same aspirations with my child. Don't really care what she reads as long as I am able to open the door to literature for her.
I admire you, sir, as a person and a father.
You are right, French is just too difficult. Especially it's hard to understand the oral speach. English is also not the easiest language to understand, of course, but at least I love it

Surviving the past week! Lots going all. None of it good.
Definite light at the end of the tunnel, Flake. I got a phone call that will change everything, and take away all the stress and worry I've had this week. I will fill you in later today.
I'm so pleased to hear this, Sharon.

Well it's been an eventful few weeks, and so stressful. Our building was sold to a new owner, and they are bringing their own staff, so hubby and I not only lost our jobs but our apartment as well. It was part of our compensation package. We were supposed to vacate on the 17th of June, after being given our notice on the 10th. We were able to extend our stay until this weekend.I'm so pleased to hear this, Sharon.
Now the good news! Hubby started a new job today, and his salary is more than both of us were getting even including the apartment. We managed to find an apartment to move into this weekend which includes our utilities at a very reasonable rent per month. Tomorrow I have to try and find someone to move us on Sunday. Our new place is smaller, but will be fine for just the two of us. They also accept pets, so that is great. Things have worked out well. I will most likely be without internet access after Sunday night for a day or two but then I'll be back. Tomorrow is going to be busy, so I may not be here much.
Yay Sharon! It sounds like a good silver lining.
How very stressful this must have been, I'm sorry you guys went through all of that... but also hugely relieved to hear this outcome! Good luck with the move, I hope it will go smoothly for you both, let us know how it's going as soon as you can. xox
Glad to hear things have worked out Sharon.
