I have a young Spanish student of English where Japanese is her second language, She loved everything about Japan and resolved to lean the language when she was 10, as she explained to me. She duly achieved this remarkable (to me) feat over a 10 year period, including study course in Tokyo, and is now in demand in Madrid for translations and interpreting work. As she wants to translate between English, Spanish and Japanese and help with conference calls, etc, she wants me to help her improve her English. She has a natural flair for learning languages and won't find upping her English level a problem at all.
Oh! And a beautiful shot!

its so great that young people learn languages.........I belive in our world there should be no borders, and learning languages is one way to overcome differences....distances
