Hi Mrs Torsten:
Could you explain to me why we use insterested instead of interesting in when you are telling that you like doing something? I'll appreciate it.
Regards.

Hi Ralf
So, you always put interested in that situation.Thanks. By the way neighbour is another way to write neighbor?

Yes, in American English it's 'neighbor'.
