Hey everybody! I am Valerie. I live in Ohio, USA. I have always been interested in learning various languages (I took French and Spanish while in school, and dabbled with Icelandic, Italian and Russian over the years). I am currently learning German (it will be my elective language when I start my schooling again (after over 10 years!)). I hope to learn a lot and meet new people/make new friends along the way. :grin:
