I’m a Relief Programmer for my local library, which means I fill in when the usual library workers can’t be there to run their programs and outreach.
I was asked to facilitate an “Intro to Zines” program with a guest instructor yesterday. Since he was running the show, I made a zine along with the other participants. This is a precursor to a longer and better one I intend to make soon-ish. There wasn’t much time, so this is what I was able to come up with in about 30 minutes.
I’m so fascinated and impressed by people who leave it all behind and move themselves to a place that is alien to them. I have a friend who moved to the States from Japan, ALONE, at 18, and knew no English. He taught himself to speak the language by watching tv. He doesn’t even have an accent! To achieve fluency in just two months, as you did, in a language as confusing as English is HUGE!
We have a lot of polyglots on this site, and I have to say that all of you just amaze and impress me!
