I'm going to have to take that test-thanks for including the meme here!

I've lived primarily in the Pacific NW, but had strong influences from the Midwest, Texas, Alabama and Hawaii. Learned some Hawaiian when I was 2, Spanish when I was 5, Greek, a little Hebrew and French beginning at age 7. Took five years of French in middle and high schools, with teachers in Kansas, Oregon, and Washington. Counted it all up one day and realized that I spoke at least a few words of more than 13 languages, and more than a few words of at least 5 languages. I didn't includee any of the non-human ones-feline, canine, avian and squirrel-speak.

Yesterday I found a great Esperanto site and started studying that.. because I was bored.

Suppose the test results will label me a mutt? Maybe I'm just strange.

Fairie G, wandering around in LJ.. finding and refinding the most interesting people!
