Weekly, I spend two hours in a Vietnamese language class—a surreal experience at my age. The classroom feels familiar yet different, like revisiting a forgotten chapter. Learning feels harder now, but I’m surprised by how much sticks. It also stirs nostalgia, making me wish, just for a moment, I could step back in time. For now, I’ll savor this blend of past and present, the quiet thrill of learning, and the bittersweet memories it brings.

Learning a different language allows the brain to light up more circuitry and increase more reserve
I hope so.
...good luck to you. I have enough trouble with English.
I'm trying. lol.
May I ask if your heritage is Vietnamese as your last name is Nguyen? I had a good friend in High School who had the same last name. He tried to teach me how to write the characters, it was so cool!

I married into a Vietnamese family and opted to take my husbands name. It is very interesting to learn, the accent marks tell your voice what it's supposed to do. That's that hard part. :-)
