awesome interview, as a English language learner from Brazil, I am striving to learn more about the language without living in an English-speaking country I feel motivated to try harder and leverage my language skills by watching videos like this! keep up the good work! love ya
I never called myself a polyglot until I realized my sister was telling her colleagues all about how I was one and all the ridiculous amount of time I still spend studying Chinese after years so I decided to just embrace it. Even if I didn't feel 100% confident in being able to "defend" that, I can't control what people refer to me as. In a weird way it kind of forces me to keep the level of my main languages up so that I can defend a 'title' that I never gave myself in the first place, but I suppose that's a good thing. I suppose that attitude of "accept how others want to classify your language ability" comes from working at a big company and in addition to Spanish I told people I could try to help customers in French, that is, even if I didn't feel confident in being able to certify myself fully fledged in French, it made no sense to say, "sure transfer me calls in a language I don't speak."
Thank you again for the invitation 🤗
Thank YOU for being so honest in your answers!
@@KevinAbroad Maybe too transparent though 😜

Thanks for watching the video! :))
This was so amazing and fun! This is my favourite format where you can see the people talking and I could have listened to another hour!
Kevin has been having some super cool interviews recently.
Thanks!! I'm so happy to have done those interviews!
