Wondering what languages were used in today’s episode?
English (recording language)
Croatian | Dobar dan (DOHbahr dahn) and Doviđenja (DOHveeDJEHnyah) mean “Hello” and “Goodbye”
Indonesian | Halo (hah-lo) and Hati-hati (ha-tee ha-tee) mean “Hello!” and “See you later!”

Great content here! Thanks Kaitlyn for taking the time to share! Note - there were two point were the vid sort of repeated the same line.
Please provide info about those who have speech delay in first language and feel hesitant to learn second language. 5 year kids for example

well then what's the point. if I am incapable of doing it perfectly I will not even try to do it at all. so much for that idea.that is what I am getting from this video. I want to learn Spanish but if I have no hope of doing it perfectly then I am not willing to do it at all.Thanks for letting me know there is no point in trying so I don't waste my time.
Poor way to look at it.
