I speak german,english and spanish. I have a decent command of italian,and have a basic knowledge of czech,portuguese,and french.
I love to drink a beer with friends,meet people from all over the world,pick up words in foreign languages,watch tv series in different languages,go to the movies,ride a bike in the countryside,and plan my next travel as well as reading a book of my favourite author Jack Vance.
