    What language?

    Hindi, which is one language I'm very interested in learning.

    Good for you! Always nice to learn a new language. My ear is shot for language. I have a hard time with English now. :D

    Rich, I beg of you not to think I'm bragging, because, I sure don't mean to, but I speak French, Hebrew, Arabic, English, Spanish, Italian, Greek, German, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Swahili fluently. I come from a European background, so foreign languages are a must. Anyone can learn a foreign language if they really apply themselves.

    You're not bragging. Just talented. My dabbling in languages was limited to French, Latin and Japanese. I can learn them but, I can't "hear" the tonal nuances any more. My daughter is trying to teach me Spanish. :D

    well, the tonality of certain languages, particularly, Asian or African languages, can be complicated for Westerners. Swahili, for example is an African language, which has a large number of Arabic words in it, because of the Moslem influence brought to east Africa by Arab traders and businessmen many years ago. It's a very nice language, and easy for an Arabic-speaking person to learn, especially the Swahili spoken in Tanzania, or Kenya. Swahili is also spoken in the eastern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, and to a lesser degree in Mozambique, and Somalia. Arabic and Hebrew are very easy for anyone who speaks either language to learn, because they're very similar, and if one speaks Russian, he can easily learn any of the other Slavic languages.

    I got a little package from our new Soap-Sue.. I ordered the pure olive-soaps.. This is what I got:

    1 Sandalwood (Very faint scent, mostly just soap - nice though)
    1 Green Tea (Very fresh scent)
    1 Black Cherry (Strong candylike cherryscent-almost too much)
    1 Bay Rum (Quite strong scent, on the sweet-side of our beloved Bay Rum)
    1 OrangeRose (rather faint scent, very nice scent - quite original)
    1 Rose (very Rose :drool )

    I have only tried the Sandalwood yet - pleasing result, Thank you Sue!
