Hahah well that's ok, I was only joking. :D I found a picture of us at the cafe, I might make and send him a little card just for fun and see if he remembers anyone.

Yeah that is most likely! I also picked up a Baltic phrasebook, so I should study that if I ever want to go back! Although it seemed most people in Tallinn could speak excellent English :) Is it a requirement in schools?

Well if you ever do get the chance to come to the US and you just happen to be in Pittsburgh (unlikely, as it's not the place tourists go, more likely New York City or such) I'd be happy to buy you chocolate and give you a tour :D It is such a lovely spring here, even though the weather has been weird - one day it's 10C, the next 26C!

Hehe, I hope he remembers you then ;)

Well, Estonian is a difficult language. Generally Estonians are extremely flattered to hear foreigners speaking it, even if they only know a few words =)
Yes, young people have no problem with English nowadays. It is taught at schools and besides everyone watches American movies anyway. So it's quite impossible NOT to speak English.

Now you really make me want to go to Pittsburgh! If I do get the chance to come, I'll let you know and bring you an Estonian chocolate in return.
The weather is pretty much the same here, despite the fact that it almost never gets as warm as 26C, even in the summer.

If I go back I would like to know at least enough Estonian to be polite, and maybe even pass if I didn't say much. :) Haha but I want to learn every language in the world and be able to do that.

That's pretty cool. It makes me mourn a little that foreign languages are not emphasized in American schools. The only exception I think is in some places Spanish is really necessary.

Awesome! You are always welcome in Pittsburgh :) It often goes a bit past 30C in the summer here. The seasons are pretty strong, from -10C in the winter to 30C in summer. I tend to prefer warmer weather though!

If you just say hello in Estonian when you enter a shop, you will already catch attention =) But I'm glad to hear that you are interested in my language. If you come here again, I can teach you ;)

You cannot change the fact that English is the World language. There's no real need for you to know other languages... although I know it's fun to know them =) I can't SPEAK any other language either besides English and my mothertongue, although I've learned many... I just don't need them in my everyday life.

Yes, I love warm weather too, it's summer soon and it makes me happy =) But I do also love snow. I don't like wet and muddy "black" winters with no snow.

Yes, I know English is the world language, but to me something feels missing in not having to know any other language or way of thinking in. I mean, just studying languages personally has changed the way I view language and the world that creates it. Though I am surprised, I've encountered a lot of people who are disgusted by Americans not being able to speak a foreign language.

I'd be flattered if you taught me some Estonian! :D

Snow is the only good part about winter, really. It can be so beautiful for a time. Then it either melts into a lot of dirty slush or freezes into sheets of ice. :( Yeah, I prefer summer. :D
