Here’s the story of my life:<br>I’m a Saudi Arabian, born and raised in Kuwait. I studied grades 1 through 12 in Kuwait. After finishing high school, I pursued my undergraduate studies at King Fahad University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, from which I dropped out in 1987.<br><br>After dropping out, I moved to Riyadh, got a job, and got married a year after.<br><br>The Boring End. <br><br>
You either had exceptional language teachers or you are a gifted linguist. Whichever, I must confess I envy you. You didn't mention what you do for a living? (And it's not in your profile)<br><br>Me, I'm an advertising art director. I have a reasonable command of the English language plus un peu de Francais, but I am a Scot by birth. I blame that on my parents...<br><br><br><br>

I agree....your command of the English language, as far as typing goes at least, is quite remarkable! Heck, some of the kids today could learn from you. <br><br><br>So how is Ramadan going? <br><br>

<h1>90%???</h1> You're all far too kind.. As far as my pronunciation, I sometimes get a feeling that my accent is similar to that of Count Drakula. However, my wife thinks that I speak with an American accent. I guess too much TV does that to a person. <br><br>Is there a way we can all voice chat?<br><br>
