You won't guess what the first foreign language I studied was! #polyglot #languagelearning

I've learned over 15 languages to various levels the past two or three decades, but I'm pretty sure you cannot guess what my very first foreign language was. Pause the video and leave a comment if you think you know. When my family and I lived in Islamabad, Pakistan, I got a report card once from nursery school saying Lindy can now communicate fluently in English. I do not really consider English my first foreign language. My entire schooling has been in English and I do consider my English to be a little better than my home language Apricants. Right before Pakistan, we lived in France for 9 months. I remember a French teacher would come to our house and teach my mom and older brother and I would greet her at the door. But I don't really count French cuz I was too young. I think I was like 3 4 years old. After that, as I said, we moved to Pakistan and maybe I gave it away. My very first foreign language was Udu. I went to the International School of Islamabad. I So I and I also had French in school. We watched Muzzi. Anyone remember Muzzi? My most prominent very first French word is because Muzzi the monster like ate a parking meter. We also had u lessons at school where I learned to read and write and speak a little bit of udu and you know blah blah. I think thanks to Erdu, I really got this curiosity and fascination for different writing systems. Then 9/11 happened. We had to evacuate the country and a few years later we ended up in the United Arab Emirates and I had to take Arabic at school. Udu and Arabic are pretty similar in writing systems. So I actually knew how to write my name in Arabic because it is so close to Uru. So, at school in the UAE, I took French, a little bit of Spanish, and Arabic.
