Read CAREFULLY to the following text about learning new languages.

Hey! My Name is Isabella and I want to talk about learning languages. I’ve lived in many different countries, both in Europe, South America and now here in Hong Kong. And during all of that time, I’ve learned five or six different languages. I was born in London, where I learned English as my first language. When I was 6 years old, we moved to Italy so I learned Italian. Two years later, me and my parents moved to Brazil where I learned Portuguese. When I was 12 we moved to Paris where I learned French and I took classes of Latin. A few years later, before moving to Hong Kong, we moved back to London, and I took Mandarin classes at university. I love learning languages. They are not only important when you move to a country but they are also interesting and really useful.
