COUNTRIES AND LANGUAGES

Good morning everybody! Today I got up very early in the morning because during the night I had a brilliant idea what to talk about in this chapter. When I was a child I was very interested in geography. I loved watching the world map and imagining people who live all over the world. That is the reason why I became a linguist. I wanted to understand everybody. So today I have decided to speak about the countries and the languages.
