I was genuinely moved to see my thinking find its way into your piece. The idea of “belonging building through accumulated, specific exposure” came from watching my heritage learners, the people who know all the right words, but haven't yet found the right world to put them in. What you're doing with Al Fondo Hay Sitio is exactly what I mean when I say you can't shortcut the hours of living inside a language. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you as well Tihana. Your posts did spur some deep reflections as I tried to find words to externalize my thoughts and feelings around this. So I am greatly appreciative of your work.
I really admire you for putting all the effort into language learning. Swear words are an added bonus 😀
Why thank you my good Edith. Your words honour me.
Plus, the swear words make the language feel real.
