Hi Torsten,
Good to hear from you again. Things seem to be going swimmingly and we're all keeping an eye on the shop.
Best wishes

Hi Alan,
Thanks a lot for your immediate response -- it's great to read some fresh idioms again.
By the way, I'm struggling a bit with the American keyboard, some of the keys are in different places than I'm used to...

Hi Michael, my short absence clearly has brought about some positive changes. For example, you have put your photo online which is good because now we can see whom we are talking to :-)...

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for stopping by and looking in on us. We aren’t being too naughty while you’re away, are we? I think we all try to behave like grown-ups, anyway – which I’m not sure is always good, though.
Enjoy your family holiday and build lots of memories! |

Hi Conchita, yes it's such a good feeling to know that everything with our forum is running smoothly and even our 30/30 Challenge is still active. Many thanks to Amy for her invaluable support!
Talk to you soon,

Hi Nami,
It sounds as if you have been to Kiev too? Yes it is a beautiful city with an impressive architecture indeed. Also, the language situation in Kiev is very interesting too. Ukrainian is now the official language although most people in the urban areas speak Russian most of the time.
However, the vast majority of the Ukrainian citizens speak Ukrainian as a second language. Now that almost every TV show is in Ukrainian rather than in Russian, the average person here is exposed to two languages on a daily basis.
It's very interesting to see how Ukrainians are shaping their new national identity and I think they are on the right track...
