Today in this solo episode I wanted to talk to you about lost languages. I stumbled across this article called  “Forgotten First Languages Leave An Imprint On The Brain.” For those of you feeling overwhelmed (like me) with the idea of re-learning your mother-tongue this article gave me so much comfort and hope.
