Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Tina Bishop | Interesting Fact

My second language is Slovene. Slovenia is one country of the former Yugoslavia and is geographically located next to Italy. Out of some 6 billion people in the world only 2 million speak this language. Since it is a slavic language I can understand some Russian, Croatian, and Czech. My understanding of another lanugage helps me understand English more fully and will hopefully help me as I certify to teach English on the secondary level.

Some interesting words in Slovene are: "Pomoc" means "help", "Kruh" means "bread", "Kolo" means "Bicycle" and "Pes" means "dog".
