Hi there. I'm Chloe, a Media Communications major at Youngstown State University with a passion for language and making genuine connections, online or off.
As a kid growing up alongside the dawn of social media, I've had the opportunity to interact with people online all over the world from a young age. I've always been fascinated by the subtle yet significant differences between different English-speaking countries and even just within different cities and communities. When I started studying French in high school, I discovered the even greater possibilities for misunderstanding that can arise between different languages. In the past year, I began to study French daily with the hopes of one day becoming fluent, and in the process of diving deeper into another language, I've developed a new appreciation for the interesting problems that can arise when two cultures collide. Understanding others and being understood ourselves is one of the most basic human desires, so let's learn together how we can better communicate while keeping all our beautiful differences intact. |
