i'd never thought that i'd be a polyglot one day. my mom had long talked about the benefits of learning languages, but it takes me a long time to actually see the evident benefits in my life.
the basis of language is a form of communication. when i talk about this, i actually mean communicating with people around you, and to yourself, too.
english itself is ample regarding vocabulary, but sometimes i can't pick one out of more than 170,000 words to express myself. therefore, i learn more.
every language itself is a whole new realm...
vietnamese aka my mother language taught me how is it to love your own country, to grow up and to submerge yourself in the warm love of such an amazing community that many people'd abandoned. no matter how many more languages i'll learn, vietnamese deserve a dear place in my heart, as it's my first language.

english enhanced my knowledge since most information nowadays is written, or translated into english. it broadened my horizons in ways that i can't ever think of. yay did we even mention how much words english have? a hell lot, but i actually appreciate that since it gets more precisely.
english is as bland as water, but i love it despite all the blandness.
i have no fucks to give
chinese taught me to love myself after all the crappy relationships. those were the ones i devoted my blood and sweat to as a ephemera heading towards the fire, no matter if it's safe or not, as long as it's glimmering. it taught me to look at myself with depth and to fuck all the shallow-ee things.
现在我学会了顺其自然，不想再挽留什么，我相信该在的不会走。
and french, the crème de la crème, my dear child, you showed me how to love my loved ones and how to be independent. you're that seductive flower in which your grammar and pronunciation gets my hand bleeding. well let's just wait, i'll embrace you the way the fog penetrates the air in that cold morning, intense et moelleux. i'll achieve you one day soon.
petit a petit, l’oiseau fait son nid
the language that we can all talk in
you don't need HSK6 or C2 on the CERF thingy to communicate effectively, we all share the same language - love.
love can be shown in so many ways, words of affection, physical touch, gifts, et cetera, et cetera.
i hate it when people bring their political reasoning persuading me to stop learning chinese or else. i love them for my own reasons, languages enrich my life and my inner kingdom.
language is a blanket woven by threads of inexplicable emotions and feelings, that shall warm my heart and my spirit every time the cold of life comes.
p/s once i'd master these four and may be the others too, i'd come back and translate this post into those languages.
