How many languages do you speak? |
TRANSCRIPT
I speak two languages fluently—English and Spanish. I’ve always appreciated how being bilingual allows me to communicate with a wider range of people and experience different cultures more deeply. It’s also been a big help in both personal and professional situations. I’d love to add another language to my list, maybe something completely different like Italian or Japanese!
Do you like learning languages? |
TRANSCRIPT
I do like learning languages! It can be tough at first, but once you start to get the hang of it, it becomes a lot more fun. I love how it feels like solving a puzzle, and you can see your progress over time. Plus, learning a new language opens up so many new experiences—whether it’s through travel, meeting new people, or just understanding a different culture better. It’s challenging but really rewarding.
