I have lived for a period of at least 1 year in England, Scotland, France(19 years), Germany (total of 3 years), Russia (3 years), Gibraltar (5 years), and for lesser periods in Bosnia, the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) and Iraq.
I lived in England until I was 22, but I have now lived in my current home in France since 2007. Moving home is always stressful.
It gets harder to learn a new foreign language with each passing year but I have at various times spoken reasonably fluent French, German, Russian and Serbo-Croat (as the language was called at that time). There are dialects of English which are more difficult to master than some foreign languages.
