Julie and I discussed the challenges of learning foreign languages. Julie speaks English, obviously, and has also learned Portuguese, Spanish, but feels challenged by French. We also discussed the challenges of being a teacher and how teachers are respected, or not, and how they are not paid well varying from culture to culture. Julie loves Portuguese and especially Bossa Nova !
