Great conditions, huh?!</span><br style="font-family: Times New Roman;" /> <em style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /> More information on my languages: </em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I have taken courses at some level in all of these tongues, except Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, and Portuguese. </span><br style="font-family: Times New Roman;" /> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> In senior high school, aside from English I simultanouesly studied French (Swedish diploma level: 3 år som B-språk), German (3 år B), Italian (3 år C), and Russian (3 år C). Then, at Stockholm University I took minors in Russian and Italian (40 Swedish university credits each). I have taken crash courses in Mandarin Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, and Arabic at Columbia University, and had a private tutor in Arabic for two months in Yemen. </span><br style="font-family: Times New Roman;" /> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> For the purpose of language training, I have been staying with families in England, the United States, France, and Italy. I recently received a scholarship for studies in Spanish, and am planning to combine </span><a href="http://www.cervantes.org/learnspanish/caelenacad_27_2.htm" target="_top" style="font-family: Times New Roman;">intense classes in New York in October</a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> with a later family stay in some Central or South American country (Mexico? Colombia? Honduras? Ecuador? Argentina? God knows.).</span><br style="font-family: Times New Roman;" /> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> I can do pretty serious interviews in Italian, French, and German, and am conversant in Russian. For Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, and Bahasa Indonesia, my skills are at a very basic level but they do make me capable of communicating with people that I meet when I travel. Which is precisely why I choose to try learning these languages in the first place. </span> </font></td> </tr> </table>
