Ah, I understand. I had the same thing with friends from Czech and Slovakia, but eventually we settled on English anyway. The languages are similar, but still different enough (unfortunately, life would be easier

The current scholars and historians tend to think that Sheba was modern Yemen or Ethiopian lands, both having relations to each other, ancient history and had times of riches and glory....

She is absolutely beautiful! Stunning. The caramel - honey tones are accurate for ethnicity, and her slightly furrowed brow displays a mood. I can hear her say "Kiss me with your mouth...your love is better than wine"(Song of Solomon 1:2)
