Ben is such a positive & charismatic person. Great collab! Enjoyed the idea of you guys talking to merchants in English then speaking Mandarin to each other to discuss pricing / or gossip. Turns the table when it's usually the other way around. Would be cool to see an extended version of that! It's also really dope when you give little notes with the asterisk to teach stuff culturally about languages such as the whole "foreigner" concept!

Whilst I don't speak any of the language, I can tell you as a horticulturalist that the flowers on the vegetables actually mean they're end of growing season and about to go to seed, they'll be more starchy and way less sweet. They lied to you about that repeatedly.... It literally means they're on their way out and past their best, don't be conned by them in future.

Since I was a little kid, I've said if I could have one wish, it'd be the ability to understand, speak, read, and write any language I come across fluently. I could use it to make a good living as a translator, talk to anyone, learn and teach, decode dead languages, travel the world, and reveal ancient history we've lost to time. That would be heavenly for me despite my being an anti-social, anxiety suffering goof. I love languages, but my memory is poor and I get frustrated easily due to mental health issues. I keep trying to dive back into Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, and ASL but my mental clarity and will to be patient seems to have bottomed out.

@@drix4275 Russian was the first language I wanted to learn, but my schools had German and Spanish (I chose German.) Spoke it a lot with my friends in high school, but forgot most of it. Several years back started dipping in the languages previously mentioned. ASL being the most recent. If you're interested, a good app for learning it is Intersign ASL. Both free and paid get all the lessons and paid gives access to little extras like games. They use clips of ASL teachers signing the words and sentences, acts a bit like most language apps but suited for ASL. It's nice.
