amonyel Before I went to the US, I thought the second language there would be French, which obviously was a misconception. When I was in the US, I found out Spanish is so much more common than French! You're right, it would be so much more convenient if you understand...

amonyel Yes, I also find Spanish language more romantic than other languages. But why? Is it because of the soft pronounciation, or simply because I've associated the language to the romance Spanish dramas which I love? Either way, Spanish is my most favourite...

amonyel I love Japanese language and culture also. Japanese dramas are one of my favourites. Tokyo Disneyland and Japanese sushi are also fascinating. I've been there only once and I'm hoping to visit there again soon.

amonyel I thought about learning Italian as well but I'm afraid that might mess up with my Spanish (which I learned several years ago) as the 2 languages seem to be very similar. Besides Italian and Spanish, I also would like to pick up other European languages as...

amonyel I had a similar experience: I planned to enrol in a French class when I was studying in university. The first class I went to the instructor taught almost exclusively in French and worse still his low-pitch voice sounded very like a bull! That immediately...

amonyel I thought about learning Arabic as well but don't know where I should go for this training. In fact one of the mosques nearby where I live used to offer free Arabic lessons, but they don't do that anymore. I wish they could resume that and I would definitely...

amonyel I don't know about German but from my experience Spanish and Japanese are truly interesting and charming. I like both their cultures and pronounciations.

amonyel Hi vanity666, Why are you interested in going to Taiwan? Is it because of their culture, food, or scenery? Have you visited there before? I've been there once and I like the fruits in Taiwan, they've got some special kinds of fruits which are not present in...

amonyel What does your family think is ridiculous? The fact that you want to get married at this age? Getting married with this particular girl? Getting married in order to study abroad with someone? Or what?

amonyel I think culture is a very personal thing. Whether one can adapt to a particular culture depends largely on the person's personality and life values. I personally like living in America very much, particularly in the small suburban towns, I like the easy...

We can only accept friendship from others to the degree that we give it to ourselves. Being a friend to yourself is as important as anything you will ever do.If you allow yourself to just think about it,it really does make...

amonyel I hold a similar mentality. Sometimes I come across people who are too mean to themselves: demanding too much from themselves, unforgiving to their own minor mistakes, having too low self-esteem, etc. I always tell them: "If you don't love yourself, you can't...

amonyel Glad to hear that there's such a nice way out from your imminent difficulties. Sometimes life makes us desperate as if there's no way out. But if we don't lose hope, fate won't fail us. Though I don't believe that everything comes with a solution, I do believe...

When your friend dies, it seems months, even years, before you overcome the pain and put it all behind you as a thing in the past. I had a close friend who died about 20 years ago, and still I cherish my remembrance of him, and...

amonyel Me too. Two of my good friends died suddenly several years ago and even now I constantly think of them. For several times I even dreamed of them and the images were so vivid. I cherish those dreams because it's like seeing them face-to-face again.

amonyel I understand your situation. Would it be better if you construe the whole thing this way: As you're the only lady in the office, you might be the only person who cares about the hygiene of the comfort room and the other areas. Generally speaking, men are "less...

amonyel I used to read the Bible in a systematic way so that I finished reading the whole Book once every year. I've done that for a few consecutive years; after that, life got busier and busier and my reading habit got interrupted so often that sometimes I had to...
