*Spoiler alert*: this episode is highly personal and includes a long rant about my life some years ago. Maybe it’s a bit off-topic, but if you’re listening to this podcast that’s part of the package. Feel free to skip how much you want.
In the last episode, I told you about Hungarian and online communities. It allowed me to get to know people on the Internet for the first time.
However, just like it happened with my other “language loves”, something else arrived at some point and made my life take another unexpected turn.
We’re in 2011, November.
I start reading about geopolitics and that was a quite hot moment for a particular area of the world: Iran.
The more I read about it, the more I get curious because I realize how ignorant I was about it.
It soon became something irresistible.
As usual, I headed to Omniglot.com to get some information about the language. Of course, I was so ignorant that I probably thought it was Arabic or something similar like that, and then… I heard an audio file of probably one of the most beautiful languages I had ever heard.
