As I hear it, there’s a decent chance one of my African Greys knows a little Japanese from his previous home. It can take a looooong time to find out everything they know how to say. In the meantime, when I actually find time for Pimsleur, I let him sit on my shoulder ;)
Yes, I was there as an Air Force brat. At the time, I had no idea just how lucky I was to have the opportunity; it was just another really cool place we got to go live. Now that those years are behind me and I have a mortgage and a 9-5, I really envy my childhood self and the awesome experiences I had XD
