Language Learning Journey
I love learning languages, exploring history and cultures, and connecting with people around the world. Being able to communicate with others in their native languages has improved my life in countless meaningful ways.
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."
— Nelson Mandela
This quote encapsulates why I'm passionate about language learning. To me, true fluency means being able to express emotions in a language, not just communicate facts. So I added a fun meter that shows where I think my fluency is in that language.

Learning Resources
Books
I read a lot of books to learn languages. I have a collection of books in different languages that help me improve vocabulary and grammar while enjoying stories.
Dramas and Songs
I watch dramas and listen to songs in different languages to improve my listening comprehension and cultural understanding. I try to write down words that I don't understand and learn vocabulary and grammar.
Language Exchange
Regular conversation practice with native speakers helps improve fluency and build confidence in real-world communication scenarios.
