Experience with other languages and cultures

I have traveled extensively, mostly throughout Europe and the United States.  (At last count, I had traveled to over 25 coutries.)  In addition to German, I have had coursework in French, Latin and Italian.

Die Grenzen meiner Sprache sind die Grenzen meiner Welt." (The limits of my language are the limits of my world.)
