I can't imagine living in another country without knowing the language. For me part of the experience is absorption of the culture and its nuances and I don't think that it would be possible without being able to understand what is going on aroung you.

I almost never eat breakfast because I can't think about food first thing in the morning. When I do, it is always something light, a piece of fruit, some yogurt or a half a cup of cereal with almond milk

I liked her first song but wasn't feeling the rest of her songs. I'm not a fan of Phillip Phillips but really liked the rendition that he did of the Bob Seeger song last week. Can't understand why he didn't do that song this week.

I think that you are right and it isn't the first time that I felt a bit of sabotage with Jessica. I think that when the Jackson 5 song was picked for her that it was a very poor song choice as well. I think everyone was surprised that in spite of everything, Joshua was voted out instead of her,
