Becoming Bilingual

January 15, 2021

Languages have always followed me throughout life—mostly I think because I am always so nervous to speak them.

Here’s a little update on how learning German has been going for me and a note of my utmost respect and empathy for anyone learning to communicate in a second language or having to communicate full time outside of their mother tongue.

Ich hoffe ihr ein sehr schönen Tag haben werdet! Ich habe euch lieb, XOXOX, CAMDW
