It's Thursday, and I just got back from LA, which is a story for another day, but being at the airport reminded me of this awesome video I found on Gawker forever ago, "How English Sounds to Non-English Speakers". It's interesting to see things from the other side.
It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time a baby Kaya arrived in Chicago without knowing a word of English. Over time, I've realized that's where my soft spot for foreigners, immigration rights, and giving directions to lost tourists comes from. It's the only area of my life in which I can say I am truly patient.
Now if I could just make something of the 7+ years of french I took, I'd really be in business. xx
