    Thank you for this story full of lively curiosity! It sparked at once lots of memories from my travels in India, Sri Lanka and others. Travelling IS the best thing. And I learned a couple of new words and meanings, like sharp means fashionable, right? You can create some learning materials for your patrons based on your podcast, with the help of AI it should be quick and easy.

    Thanks Tim for sharing your travel experience. I’ve never been in Bangladesh and haven’t got it in my travel wish list as well. Still it’s very interesting to listen to your story.
    I have a question. As Elizaveta mentioned early – you are really talented in languages. But what about your siblings? Are they also have a good head for the different languages or they have other hobbies?

      Hi Yulia!
      My younger brother (you can see him with me in the pictures above) told me today he’s not great at languages, but he can hold a conversation in French. He’s also good with numbers and programming.
      My older brother is also more a numbers guy; he might also be good at languages, but has not tried it much.
      My sister knows Spanish well and was in finance for a long time.
      Come to think of it, I may be a black sheep in the family in terms of my skillset- I am the only one who has not explored mathematics!
