Language is an art all on ifs own, isn't it! I think the tradition your parents raised you with is wonderful!!! They broadened your horizons in a natural and casual environment by doing that with you at home and I think it is great!

I had a friend who's parents did something similar actually, as one parent was English speaking and the other was Afrikaans. As an adult, she now speaks both with great ease - and though we are taught Afrikaans in most schools here, the classroom can be an incredibly boring place to learn a language and most of the information is never retained long term.

Speaking about music - I am an absolute music junkie and I can so relate to what you are saying here about wanting people to feel what you do when listening to something. I am a big person for trying to "put myself in another's shoes" so I can try and understand better what they felt, experienced or thought at any given moment... so that statement hit hard.

I knew a guy once who spoke Urdu and I loved to listen to it. Sometimes I would hear him on a call or something like that and I was always fascinated to hear him talk. Though I never understood what he was saying, I found the language incredibly beautiful off the tongue.
