I can totally relate to your experience with learning other languages; the way you’ve been treated and the uncomfortable moments you’ve faced really highlight that many of us feel the same way. In my own country, there are indigenous languages, too, though they’re spoken in very remote areas, and I’ve never quite understood why we Venezuelans don’t place more value on them, focusing instead solely on Spanish. I’ve been studying English for years, but I lack the practice, mostly because I hardly ever leave these four walls, haha! I hope things get better for you over time; it’s not an easy situation. It actually surprises me a bit, since it seems more common in your area to learn various dialects—but then again, everyone is different. I’m sure you’ll come across plenty of kind people, even if you don’t speak their local language. Sending you a hug bro!...
