Thanks pjd, abriton and zinnia....I thought he probably spoke English.... I was just curious as to his proficiency and couldn't find him recorded in English online. Maybe when he does his show in April/May in the US , we'll be able to hear him speak some English, as well as learn more about him.

bit.ly/iifNNsI don't know, ladies, I may have to switch allegiance and I'm sure most of ATOP will come with me, knowing how we like our men hot and disheveled. I'm not sure if this is a joke or for real, only have a few minutes, so not taking the time to find out. But I'm glad there is somewhere to get a reliable point of view on American health care. Oh, and I did read somewhere that Sauli is fairly fluent and he was explaining that pretty much everyone in Finland speaks English. Unlike some of you, couldn't find where I saw this if my life depended on it. Ah but if you scroll down and see the Mad magazine - that's more to my liking. 8-) 8-) |

Oh, yeah? Well, I speak English and I can say "Throw your gum in the wastebasket, please" in Spanish and--uh, that's all. Slinks away quietly and hopes no one noticed.No slinking away allowed nor necessary ggg. You live in a different world to us and you don't need more languages  . English is so universal - you lucky ones are born with it and we just have to learn it word by word. |

After taking Spanish (because itt was the easiest) in both high school and college (many, many years ago) all I can do now is count, say how are you and my name is. lol Yes, it's regrettable and embarrassing. |

When i was in middle school we could only learn French. now from what i hear, they teach Spanish. since it was a catholic school we had to recite the meal prayer in French every day before lunch, and the Hail Mary at the end of the day since my homeroom teacher was the French teacher. i knew it by heart too, but I dont know the meal prayer anymore, and i can only speak the beginning of the hail mary, the sign of the cross, and count to 3. eta: i do know papillon in french lol...it's butterfly, and also has a connection to my maiden name. |

I can top you on that, I was a translator for the OAS while I was in college in DC, taught high school Spanish, and now can pretty much just ask what time is it and where is your house, oh, and tell you you have an ugly cat. I almost took a refresher course when I lived in Key West, but Keys Disease had me bad and I didn't do anything but work, lie in the sun, and listen to music. I'm such a slug. |

Nothing androgynous elf about him at all! Adam is as lucky as Sauli is! What a couple! I know that Adam doesn't care one iota about my opinion- but Sauli does seem to be a fabulous departure from his usual type. He said in an interview somewhere or another that he thought he might need to find a new type, and I really like this one. Now just tack on the blah blah disclaimer disclaimer bit (because I may need cover in the future), but these two seem to have a whole bunch of potential that doesn't usually happen when you meet someone in a bar on the other side of the world when you are only in town for a couple of days. |
