My journey to reclaim my language has been a deeply personal and enlightening experience. It began with a sense of curiosity and a desire to connect more profoundly with my cultural heritage. As I delved into the language, I found myself not just learning new words and grammar, but also discovering stories, traditions, and ways of thinking that had been part of my ancestry for generations. Each new phrase and idiom was like uncovering a piece of history, a glimpse into the lives and thoughts of those who came before me.
The process of learning was filled with both challenges and joys. There were days when the structure and nuances of the language seemed daunting, almost insurmountable. Yet, these moments of struggle were balanced by times of great satisfaction—like when I first dreamt in the language or could express a complex emotion or thought naturally. These milestones were not just about linguistic proficiency but represented a deeper understanding and connection to my roots.
