Hi, I'm Gabby – business administration student, languages enthusiast, Venezuelan.
I’ve always felt the urge to communicate, so I’ve always esteemed bloggers.
(I love puns, babes. Just to let you know early on, haha!).
People all around the globe have been blogging for years, that takes so much determination. They literally put themselves and their thoughts out there (or here), opening up to the whole world, making themselves as approachable and vulnerable as possible, always hoping for the best but expecting the worst, and facing different niches bravely, amazingly; only to be able to witness the myriad of reactions people all over the web have. Only to get to know about people.
Well, we all know for sure that we cannot really enjoy something if we don’t understand it, if we don’t feel it. And there’s where communication takes place.
We communicate between each other in order to get to know us, to find harmony in our lifes, to survive, to feel accepted, to love. The power of communication is undeniable, and I’ve been attracted to that since I was on Elementary School. So, now that I’ve found this amazing tool called Steemit, Imma use itttttt.
A quick introduction about me:
I’m currently studying Business Administration, and I will hopefully also study Economics. So, wish me luck.
I’m so freaking excited about joining this community. Like, for real.
These are my dogs, Bianca, the white one, and Cookie, the black one. Because every good post needs to have puppies, doesn't it?
So, this is the part of the blog where I tell you what I am here for, to be precise: Everytime I try to talk about languages, nobody cares. That’s simple.
In fact, whenever somebody new finds out that I can magically-somehow-someway gesticulate a few words in other languages, they usually go “say something in French”, “insult me in Italian”, “oh, English is pretty important, my nephew speaks it very well, he’s married to an American and they are living in…” and, as I’m always singing, “can you sing something in German?”; and everything is okay, up until I point out that the first time I was introduced to the word “黑色” (“black” in Mandarin) I couldn’t actually pronounce it as “Hēisè” (as written in pinyin), because I was so freaking used to pronounce EI differently in German, so, as “Hēisè” resembles “Heiße” (“hot” in German), I would always say [xáise] or “Hāisè”; or that I once (or twice, or thrice or frice or fick!) skipped going to a party because I felt like I needed to learn a rap in Italian and couldn’t do it on beat; or that I’d rather be called “Cheri” than “Schnuckiputzi” (and the reasons behind it); or that… well… so many other stories…; they just curve out all of my attempts to tell them about my journey learning.
So, I’d like to share with you’ll all of those little things that happen in the way when learning something new, especially languages.
And, I really really really really hope there’s somebody out there who would like to get to know about it. Because, if sometimes when I read some thoughts people have had, experiences they’d like to share, they brighten up my day; there’s maybe somebody out there who can actually enjoy my anecdotes and maybe it’ll help them face their days with smile on mode ON. Who knows? I’ll take the chance.
Thank you all for reading, for being here, for giving my thoughts a few seconds of your day. I really appreciate it. Peace.
