Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?

• i only really speak English fluently

• i took a few years of Spanish in high school and can still hold a basic conversation if i try hard

• growing up in a small town, english was pretty much it for me

• learning even a little spanish opened up this whole other world

• i could talk to my friend’s abuelita, order food without sounding like a total idiot, and it made me feel less trapped in my own little bubble

• it made me curious about people who live differently than me

• now that i’m pregnant and thinking about raising our baby girl, i really want to learn more languages with her

• i want her to grow up knowing there’s a big world out there and that being able to connect with people in their language is such a beautiful thing

• plus…

there’s something kinda hot about being able to whisper dirty things in another language to my husband one day

• i’m still working on the spanish though — my brain is currently 80% pregnancy hormones so it’s slow going lol

• but yeah, even knowing just a little bit of another language made me feel less small in the world

• that’s probably the biggest impact for me
