Hopefully my Ankarsrum, my knives and most of my good pots and pans if I take good care of them.

I am not Spanish, but I learnt it while leaving there some years ago. And I like languages, so I did my best to learn it as well as I can. Years later, I met my now Spanish husband while living in Germany. When I went first time with him to Spain, to meet the family, they were having a big family dinner.

Before eating, everyone just talked with the others in small groups, and I happened to be talking with my husband’s uncle( he is one of those that strayed to the right side of politics and likes to believe conspiracy theories and I think he does not like immigrants). Anyway, I was talking to him for a while, probably about living and working in Germany, I don’t remember.

But at some point, my now husband comes into the mini group and asks him:“So? What do you think of her Spanish, it‘s really good, right?“ He got auch a face of confusion, trying to make sense of the words, I had to laugh. He finally asked:“But…is she not Spanish?!“ Oh the satisfaction! He would be the kind of person saying that he would definitely detect someone outside of Spain. I do speak as they do in the north, so I use verb tenses differently than them. And also have some regional words from the north in my vocabulary. So I could fool him easier because of that.

Talk and try to resolve the issues, don’t let them bottle up. Even if it is hard. It gets easier with time. And don’t blame and point fingers, rather tell the other how you feel when the other says or does something you don’t like.

What do you mean? They have to many nutrients and good stuff in them for the American stomach?

Maybe give them feedback and ask for it? If a lot of people request it, they might consider it.

Thank you for elaborating your idea. I understand now what you‘ve meant. I think for many people the teenage years are very difficult. I also had a short period of it thinking nobody loved me, which was not true at all! It is all the hormones and the changes. Luckily I got over it quickly.

But a lot of people feel lost still into adulthood. I don’t have kids yet, but if I do, I would hope I would give my teenagers enough love so that they feel safe and accepted however they are, so that they can evolve into mentally healthy adults. I did an online master in education once, and the things I mostly got stuck with is that, parents should always hug and express their love for their children, even if the children get embarrassed, it is a phase, but they have to feel safe and loved in their homes, to be able to fight all their demons outside.

Also a bonus thing I learnt: free time to get bored for children is essential, so that they have time to order their thoughts about the world and what they want from their life.

Is it an exclamation as in „what a kind community!“ or a question as in „what kind of community?“

[–] peaches@lemm.ee 2 points 16 hours ago

My husband(he is also my best friend). We hug a lot. Feeling lucky to have found someone that likes the physical closeness as much as I do.

very well: Romanian, English, Spanish, German. More understanding than speaking: French, Portuquese, Italian. And I know some words(very minimal) in Hungarian. I wish I would be more fluent in French, since we go there from time to time, I wish I knew Greek, Danish, Hungarian, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese(I love Chinese food and often watch cooking videos althougb I don't understand what they are saying).
