    Whenever I’m having a shit day, I turn on your content cause it makes me feel a little less lonely. I love watching you break that language barrier and be included in these communities, and I love how touched they always are that you’re so into their culture. People are people, no matter their culture or environments, they are human and we are social animals who love connection in the end. It’s just wonderful to see that tension broken, especially when they’re here in America and probably missing home… having to deal with us all day, I’m sure they love an American who isn’t ignorant to the rest of the world (like myself lol)

    It makes me almost weep with joy when people from everywhere around the world open up to you when you speak their language. They are so happy and welcoming and suddenly see you as one of them, not apart, or someone to be guarded with. It’s truly amazing and so utterly human. I wish we all had this capacity for multiple languages.

    I am so amazed how he learns languages. Like so many English people I only know English. My wife amazes me daily on languages. She knows English and French fluently, is really good on Spanish, though she says what she knows is conversational Spanish, she can get by in Italian and knows some Russian. We are making sure our children know English, French, and Spanish. Granted they are only 3 and 5 but they can understand all three and speak all three. My wife is working with our daughter, the oldest on learning how to write in all three. It amazes me they can watch and understand tv shows in all three languages. Granted, those two and my wife leave me in the dust, but I am very slowly picking up a few words here and there. I just am honest with them, I tell them I want them to know more than one language like their mom, not to be like me and only know one. It has been super fun watching them learn languages. It has been fun watching my parents learn words with them. I really need to work on learning more.

I hope to do the same as you one day and i'm currently learning Japanese so i can connect with the people and culture when i go there :)
