pained

I'm from the UK, but left to work and travel 10 years ago. I've lived in Russia, Kazakhstan, and currently in Vietnam. A big reason behind my wanderlust is a better understanding of other cultures and an interest in learning languages. I remember first being captivated by language learning when I was 11 years old and the BBC started a series called "Russian: Language and People".

Now, I can speak relatively good Russian, roughly remember the French and German I learned at school, and am learning Vietnamese.
My day job is helping to run an English-language school in Vietnam, so my interests are also part of my work.
