1. What’s your story? How did you get into all these languages?
I've always been curious about different cultures and the way people communicate. I started learning foreign languages because I wanted to speak with people from different countries. Little by little, language learning became one of my favorite hobbies.
2. Which language(s) do you wish you could spend more time practising?
I would like to spend more time practising Mandarin Chinese and Levantine Arabic. They are both challenging but very interesting, and I enjoy learning them.
3. What are some languages you’d like to learn in the future?
In the future, I would like to learn Chinese, and Italian. I think each of them has a unique culture and a beautiful way of expressing ideas.
4. So let’s be honest, which language has the most charm for you?
For me, Mandarin Chinese has the most charm. I like the sound of the language, the writing system, and its long history. I also enjoy speaking Levantine Arabic because it sounds warm and natural.
5. What’s the greatest pleasure you get from speaking so many languages?
The greatest pleasure is being able to communicate with people from different backgrounds. It helps me understand their culture, make new friends, and see the world from different perspectives.
6. Some people say the world is really just going to have a few languages left in a 100 years, do you think this is really true?
I don't think so. Some small languages may disappear, but many people are working to protect them. Technology also makes it easier to learn and preserve different languages, so I believe many languages will continue to exist.
7. What is your message to young (and not so young) people out there who are interested in studying multiple languages?
Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and don't compare yourself with others. Learn a little every day, enjoy the process, and be patient. Every new language opens the door to new people, new cultures, and new opportunities.
