From Zdena:
(Earlier I asked Zdena if everyone in her country learned English. Here is her answer ~M)
It is the end of the year and I send the promised song. To your question about English today only briefly: until 1945 /end WW 2/IT was compulsory in schools and German. Until 1989 was compulsory Russian. English well spoken by very few people. I speak Russian,German and English poorly. I had to stop teaching but they are sad memories. Now I´m trying but learning is slower and harder. Since 1989 the school teaches English as well as in Slovak.
Now a few words to the song promised : ANCORA is also my favorite but the text is complicated and so only a brief synopsis how I did it.
At Christmas at the cottage girl sitting by the fireplace looking into the fire and remembering the good times with her lover from the first acquaintance when he was 15 years util last meeting. I chose the photos that I like best.
IN THE NEW YEAR 2016 I WISH YOU TO BE THE HAPPIEST IN ALL YOUR LIFE.
SINCERELY YOURS ZDENA.

Start the New Year enjoying music and smiles viewing an Italian Flash Concert below. The concert start fairly slow and continues with rousing music and appreciation by the audience!☺ Italians really show their enthusiasm for the music.
