The words canoodle, hootenanny, and knickerbockers always make me smirk for some reason.

I have a difficult time controlling my surprise when a prominent media figure makes a grammatical error. They're in such an influential role that one would think the grammar would be impeccable. In any other casual situation, I have no issue with anyone who makes the errors while carrying on a conversation. People do become nervous from time to time. It's to be expected on a personal level.

I have a predilection for the Russian, Irish, Scottish, Australian, Spanish, African, and Scandinavian accents. Actually, it's quite difficult to narrow the preference down when I really think about it. Ha! Whenever I hear distinctive accents, my ears perk up in attempts to figure out where the person is from.

Music was the catalyst for learning new languages at the age of sixteen. Since my voice teacher felt it was necessary for me to understand and feel the emotion behind the words, I felt honored and privileged to be the sole recipient to learn a bit of the German, Italian, and French languages while attending a small country school. The beginnings of learning Spanish came a bit later.

Hi everyone! Born and raised in the U.S., I was able to learn a bit of other languages due to singing competitions in school. I'm definitely not fluent but able to recognize a little bit of French, German, Spanish, and Italian. I am looking forward to the discussions ahead.
