I believe that communication is vital. I've found that many people discontinue the improvement of their communication skills once they have the capacity to express their thoughts well enough to survive and I do not want to be one of those people. I have always enjoyed learning and have decided to learn new languages.
I absolutely love Opera and am focusing on learning the languages of my favorites operas. There are places in the world that I want to experience. Currently Italy holds the majority of my interest. My primary focus is learning Italian.
