Oh this made me think of another one: years ago I worked with kids and teens. sometimes they would fuck with my phone when I wasn’t paying attention to go on youtube but I would leave the keyboard on the kana flick keyboard which would stump them
Ha! Smart! I once accidentally changed my phone language to arabic and was completely lost with the settings trying to figure out where are the language settings.
Learning spanish has given me better insight in to latin american cultures. I don't know how much of that is through the language, but just being able to move around in South America with Spanish connected me with it in a way I couldn't have achieved with English alone
Must be even better with so many countries and cultures where that same language can connect you to their individual local culture!
Felt like a door opening into a new world when I travelled through German-speaking countries a second time after learning enough to get by.
Although it could also be that inbetween the travels I grew as a person and was more interested in the culture than before.
That was pretty much my experience. I went to Argentina with very little Spanish, and then got the chance to go back again a few years later with much better Spanish, and yeah, it felt like a door had opened to experiences that just weren't available to me before. Even something as simple as heading to the store to get some milk and bread was radically different.
I can 100% relate.
