I am very proud to be learning a less common language. Learning Kazakh has been a gateway to an entirely new way of seeing and experiencing the world and I am so glad I live in a time where I can connect with a native speaker across the world who is willing to teach me. I am encouraged that more people every day are hearing the beautiful Kazakh language for the first time and falling in love with it like me. I hope that more people will take on the challenge of learning the language and sharing it with others.
