Sex & Shenanigans

Communicating with locals in a language you're not really familiar with.
And extending generosity in those moments 🤩

I lived in Japan as a teenager and had to learn the language by assimilation. I started teaching in elementary schools and found that I could communicate with the kids in Japanese easier than I could communicate with my peers and even adults. I think that's because there was a lot more flexibility in the younger kid's comprehension. Spending time with them have me both the core basic structure of the language and the confidence to learn more.

Those experiences definitely shaped me.
