You hit the nail on the head with your target language! :) According to HPl 2009 people 7 out of 10 "Top Happy" speak Spanish. Congratulations!!! :D

Strange it may seem but it appears that Russians are happier than Americans at least from the point of that enigmatical "environmental efficiency of supporting well-being" :D

Icelandic makes me happy, even though I'm far from progressed in it :) Also the prospect of learning a bit of German, Polish and Irish makes me happy.

Happy happy happy.

So if I speak English in a Canadian accent from now on I will be happier than if I continue using an American or British one? ;-)

Noticing my small improvements in French is satisfying but what makes me truly happy is the idea of being completely trilingual one day.
