Thank you, Gloria, for voicing this. I read your heart alright. I was shy too in the beginning because my mother tongue is Dutch, not English. But I love to taste languages and to express myself in them. So if I make a small mistake here or there, who cares?

It’s about understanding, just like you say, it’s about reading your heart.

I don’t know if you already published in Polyglot Poetry? You can get all of your languages out there, Swahili, English, German.
