[0:02]I come from Italy and live in Rome. My father is Italian and my mother is from Australia. So I speak English and Italian at home. We sometimes visit our Australian family. I love Australia. It's a great country, but I prefer Italy. My best friend is Irish. She came to Rome last year and is learning Italian quickly, but we communicate in English. I live in Egypt in the capital, Cairo. I'm from the UK, but I work here as a journalist. I can speak Arabic because my parents are Egyptian. My wife is from Turkey and she works here in Egypt too. She speaks English and Arabic. I have two colleagues from Europe. Henry is from Germany and Eric is from Sweden. I'm Indian and I speak Hindi with my family and friends, but at work, I use English because it's common in India for business. One of my colleagues is Nigerian and we are good friends. I speak English with him. Sometimes I invite him home, and then all my family has to speak English because my colleague can't speak Hindi. I'm learning Japanese because my wife is from Japan, and when we visit her family there, I can't understand them. I love Japanese culture and traditions and want to learn the language, but it isn't easy. Now, we have a baby. I speak English to her, and my wife speaks Japanese. So, my daughter will speak two languages.
[1:36]My neighbor's father is Canadian, and her mother is Mexican. But Lupe, my neighbor, was born here in the United States. I love going to Lupe's home because they are all very nice and funny. Also her mother is a great cook, and I love Mexican food. Lupe speaks a combination of Spanish and English with her mother. It's very funny. I study in an international school, and there are students from many parts of the world. I have friends from Brazil, Spain, Greece, but my best friend is French. She is from Paris, but her parents work here in London. She loves England and says she wants to stay here when her parents return to Paris. I hope she can stay.
