Thank you very much.

I'm a sworn interpreter when it comes to Spanish, so my level is pretty high.

I'm home after the surgery (got home on Monday). Not doing much language-related, but my hospital roommate was Panamanian and I had a Russian-speaking doctor, so some Spanish and Russian were spoken.

Welp, that was a long absence.

So in the meanwhile, I've been to Finland again (yay) and my Finnish is starting to get a little better. My girlfriend is studying Dutch because eventually we want to settle in the Netherlands (not Finland because of my illnesses...), move in together, and build up our life here. Yes, you heard that right. Even Dutch queers can find love ;)

The languages I use on a daily basis now are just Dutch, English, Finnish and Spanish, and sometimes Swedish as well (especially when in Finland or looking things up). Other languages... I mean, I use them sometimes, but not as regularly. That's not to say I can't speak Russian, French or German anymore (I can), it's just not so regular right now. It might be again in the future, who knows.

I'm also quite busy these days with work, and I fell ill a few weeks ago (recovered now, even though I actually had to go to the ER... don't worry, I'm fine). But rest assured - I have to work a lot in Spanish, and I'm in courtrooms, notary offices, and government institutions all the time to interpret.

Oh and of course I still do Spanish poetry. Turns out even published poets think I'm good at that; I should publish a compilation of my works some day...
