Four.
Let it be four.

Two.

Which foreign country do you like the most?
Germany.
Why?
My sister lives there,

And the living conditions there are not so bad.
I also go there very often.
How many languages do you know?
Four.
Which ones?
Slovak, Hungarian, English,
Ukrainian,
unfortunately, Russian,
and Spanish.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
Well, probably...
Now I'm interested in...
I'm interested in Japan,
because it's too far from Ukraine,
it's too far from Europe,
it's something else,
so I think it's Asia.
Polish, English,
and I'd like to learn Spanish.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
Spain.
Why?
Well, it's a nice country,
with its interesting laws,
and in general, it's nice for research,
for traveling.
I think three.
Three, English,
on a normal level,
Ukrainian,
and I understand Russian,
although, unfortunately, it's not relevant now.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
United States.
Why?
I think it's because of the way the law works there,
that is, in different states,
you can feel like in a completely different country,
just because of the scale of the state.
It's actually a very interesting experience,
just to get there,
although, unfortunately, I haven't been there yet.
Four that I can talk about.
Which ones?
Well, Ukrainian, of course,
English, French, and Polish.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
Italy and France.
Why?
Italy is very tasty,
France is very beautiful.
Well, in general, Ukrainian education
is based on two languages.
For example, in my school, we studied English,
and we had a choice of French, Polish, and German.
I know Polish and English well.
Which one do you like the most?
Well, it's quite a difficult question,
because why evaluate these privileges of countries?
Well, in terms of economy, of course,
it's good to live in the United States,
but there are still factors that affect the living conditions,
that is, the environment,
so I can't answer this question.
Which?
Ukrainian, Russian, English.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
I don't know.
In principle, I like Italy,
but I wouldn't consider it for living.
The climate is great there.
In principle, you can live there,
but where you live, it's such a life
that you just go to work and so on.
Nothing special.
Which?
Ukrainian, Russian.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
Netherlands.
Why?
Well, everything is free there, everything is cool,
that's why I like it.
I've been there many times before the war.
People there almost do what they want,
they don't have any prohibitions.
I think it's the freest country there is.
Well, I've already known more than one Ukrainian.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
Probably Spain.
Why?
I don't even know how to answer in one sentence.
I think that, first of all,
it's their flavor,
because the behavior of those or other people
was once, once,
but I think there will be more.
But I don't know,
I've been to a few countries,
I don't deny anything,
but I came there,
somehow I came in,
saw the airport and everything,
and I think, damn, I want to live here.
Which?
Russian, Ukrainian, English.
Which foreign country do you like the most?
Probably Spain.
Why?
The men there are nice.
Brazil, Colombia, nice countries, Peru.
But I've been traveling around the world a little bit,
also Europe.
Well, the question which country I like most,
it's difficult.
It's more regions, you know,
like I like Eastern Europe, Ukraine, for example,
and I like South America.
