Staying in hostels with many diverse interesting people has taught me a great deal already. One of the most interesting things I have found is language. I had the impression that English was quite a popular language but that I would still have a great deal of difficulty with communication. Turns out English is extremely universal. Everyone uses english to talk to each other, unless all members of the conversation are from the same place. Everyone seems interested in bettering their english. They don't get frustrated with it.I am frustrated with myself though. I wish i knew another language enough so I wasnt embarassed to try. I can only speak english which is something everyone understands. I cant have secret conversations with other people like the dutch boys in my room. I think that would be really amazing.
Everyone talks about how certain languages sound ugly. I think they all sound so beautiful.
Im starting to think with a British accent. Lovely.
