In this episode I describe how learning Chinese became my treasured escape from reality. I wanted to tell everyone about my new language and also start speaking Chinese with real people, but I was still not very proficient, despite my efforts. Also, I was reluctant to use the language in a professional setting, reflecting on my experience as an exchange student in Denmark when I was learning Danish and Greenlandic (Kalaallisut). Would I be judged speaking a very basic ‘baby language’ in a professional setting?
