    Have never left the US (mostly due to being poor lol).

    That said, I work with a surprisingly diverse group at work (especially given the state I live in), speak somewhere between “vacation” and barely fluent Spanish, and have spent time immersed in other cultures (though still in the US).

    As far as language goes, I can generally pick up on that pretty quickly as long as it’s Latin-based. It may be very (sometimes very, very) broken when I speak it back, but I can typically at least get my point across and/or follow along and understand the gist of it. I also like the challenge.

    I guess my sense of belonging is a pretty flexible is what I’m trying to get at.

      I see. If one way you are able to go to a non-English speaking country, let us know how it goes!
