I'm so in love...

Rusty and many in Rusty's family love Il Divo, too. Thanks for sharing.

Have you ever seen them in concert? I've been to two of their concerts and most of the people in the audience were women (understandable). If I ever have the chance I'll go again.
I tried to see them in England in Warwick Castle, but I couldn't get tickets...

Your comment about English in your signature intrigued me. I am always interested in what exactly people love about the languages they learn. I am a big fan of the verbs in Spanish which seem more interesting and varied than what we commonly use in English (although there are many available in the dictionary if you want to sound highbrow...)

Anyway, as a non native English speaker, what is it that charms you about English anyway?

thanks,

Marsopa

I love everything about English. But specially the sound of it. I love reading in English too. It's not a logical thing, it's some kind of blind, passionate love that I cannot explain.

My mother-in-law saw them in concert and was actually the one who introduced us to them a couple of years back when she sent us our first CD (now we've a couple of DVD's).

I have to agree. Spanish verbs are very intriguing.

Do you find English accents as varied a Spanish accents? Can you dististinguish Yorkshire form Kent? Philadelphia from Chicago? I cannot distiguish Yorkshire from Kent. Being so close to English, I don't hear the beauty of it. I do recognise that English has an enormous vocabulary, and that makes it interesting.Do you have a favorite English accent? I think
some southern American accents are beautiful when spoken by the the right person

[María José]

In general I like all kinds of accents. It depends on the person. I love American accents and also Irish English.
I have to confess I'm no Mr Higgins. I cannot tell where a person comes from (either in English or in Spanish) unless it's blatantly obvious.

I agree with Gemma, I love hearing all different kinds of accents and languages. Languages are my soft spot.
