  1. Notes: 48 / 2 months ago 

    Funny enough..

    I lived in Quebec, where everyone speaks French, and I didn’t learn French.

    Then I lived in Miami, where everyone speaks Spanish, and I didn’t learn Spanish.

    Now I live in Chicago, and I learned German.

    But that’s okay, because German is still the best!

    This Too Shall Pass

    bestofwikipedia:

    “This too shall pass” is a proverb indicating that all material conditions, positive or negative, are temporary. The phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets, and is often attached to a fable of a great king who is humbled by the simple words. (via Warston)

    I love this phrase.

    Bite of the day

    Know what a polyglot is? It’s just another way of saying a person is multilingual. Yep, so I am a polyglot. 3 languages so far, trying to do Spanish as my fourth.
