It is good to be on your guard against an Englishman who speaks French perfectly; he is very likely to be a card-sharper or an attache in the diplomatic service.
When I speak to people from Britain, that's when I feel like a fake, speaking with an American accent.
I speak Hebrew excellently.
When I go to Korea and they say, 'Sing like a Korean person,' I can't do it. I didn't grow up with that sound.
I'm not too bad at reading, but I've got a bit of a confidence problem with speaking, with going from Scouse to Spanish.
Italian was my first foreign language. I speak it better than English.
Sadly, my German is almost non-existent, although I did a little at school.
I find Spanish really difficult. They speak so quickly, whereas in German it's very clear what they're saying. It's easier to repeat.
My parents were missionaries - I was born in the States but I grew up in Brazil.
