When you go on a holiday, people just talk in languages that you can't even understand a word of, but since I'm learning Mandarin, well, hopefully I can actually understand what they're saying.
-
If I can meet people at this age and be able to talk to him in a different language, then what can I do when I may be a couple years older?
