I like that my native language is so present in the Fediverse 🥲

Same here. I've been trying to immerse myself in Spanish. My grandparents were from there and they were always disappointed that none of their grandchildren became fluent.

Now I go back once per year as a sort of pilgrimage. Hopefully I'll be able to hold conversations soon.

It's difficult, but I never want to be that American who refuses to make even a token effort to learn the basics of the language when they're travelling abroad.
