no hindi bengali  and english these are the three languages that's a good mix um and you can communicate with a lot  it's like good news that's so cool though so um okay okay he also spoke moving goalie so now  i really think that he was from the same place but uh how long have you  been learning english then um i'm learning english from my childhood  like from i don't know three years old maybe okay so you've been learning english for a while  do you speak english at home like with your family

um no not really uh but i do speak english with  my friends at my school okay so that is very like some practice yes yes yes um that's cool and  then do you how long have you been using gambling um not not for a long time i would say uh maybe  for one month one or two months oh okay okay so it's still new here and then i'm assuming like are  you using it just to practice your conversation yes just to practice okay well you sound  great so far so really thank you yeah um and so i had another ques

tion for you  oh you're yes yes i'm in school right now um i'm in class eight okay can you hear me if those are the  same hello i can hear you can you hear me um yes yes i can hear you now okay  can you hear me okay yes i can yes okay so can you tell me where are  you from yeah so i'm um my name is tori and i'm 22 yeah um i'm from the united states  so i am from tennessee which is like the southeast of the us and i was born there raised  there and i stayed there all the way up until um i graduat

ed college so lived in nashville i  lived in one city for my whole life and then for college i moved to another city in the same state  and went to college there um so i studied spanish and education so i can speak spanish as well um  and i let's say oh i graduated last april and then i worked in the us kind of as like a spanish  teacher for a little while and in september i moved to spain so i live in spain now so right  now you're a spain yes yes that's nice it's cool it's really cool i grew u

p somewhere really really  small i grew up in a super like super tiny town and then i moved to madrid which is the capital of  spain and it is like a huge city by comparison and so it's been really amazing for me i feel like  there's like so much to do and so much to see all the time um so i really like living here and  here i work as an english it's i work as like a language assistant um teaching english and i work  with like really really really young children so i work with four-year-olds and

  i don't like colors and letters and how to write their names um all of that  different stuff and then i'm studying my master's degree here as well  so busy busy busy yeah i like um are an inspiration to me because i also  live in a really really small town and yes i have to go to a huge city after you know  i graduate maybe or i have to move to some huge city afterwards so yes i'm also a little bit  scared about what is going to happen over there yeah well i was so scared about moving here  be

cause i had never visited spain before but it's been fun it's it's a good  experience to like be away from my family and like have to be independent and so  if you're thinking about like studying abroad or just like going and traveling for a  little while um i would definitely recommend do you know so i know that you said that you're  only uh in eighth grade but um do you have idea what you might want to do when you're older um  well not really i say um i would go in the path of science because

i really really love science  um but after that i don't know what i'm going to become whether in the research line or medical  line or i have i will think that in the future oh yes you have a lot of time you have a lot of  time but you said that you like science so do you like like biology or like chemistry um biology  biology is my favorite subject ever that's so fun i am horrible at science so i really respect  that because whenever i'm trying to think about how old i was when i had to take bi

ology for the  first time i think i was 15 and i've always been like really good with the rest of my classes and  i remember i think i made like a c in my biology class or something and i was so upset about it  because i i just like could not my brain could not understand some of the stuff that i was learning  um now i think it's like a little bit more interesting um my like partner he works in the  sciences and he'll like explain things to me some yeah well you know if you have  a little intere

st in it then yes yes right totally yes i can hear you i cannot hear you can you  hear me oh no i can hear you yes what about now hello hear me oh no yes yes can you hear me now  okay okay yes yes okay it's fine now what were you saying just like being  interested in it do you feel like it makes it easier for you to like learn  some of the stuff because you like it yes yes of course because you know when  you're interested in a subject you automa automatically get addicted to it and yes it  work

s because like uh that's me in history that you said you are in biology because like  in history like i don't understand that even a little bit of it what is happening so well  yeah you know sometimes i do get a little bit of interest and i love to read it but most of  the time it is like just memorizing the stuffs yes history is also really hard for me because of  the like memorization for us like we would have to memorize all sorts of like years and oops dates  that stuff happened and i okay i

could not tell you now anything that i learned like in history  class um but that's cool that's cool that you at least like have an idea and you know what you like  and that kind of thing um because i think whenever i was in school like when i was your age i had no  idea what i wanted to do when i was older so if you have an idea it like helps kind of guide your  path um and you were saying you wanted to move have you thought about like studying abroad um can  you do that in like high school th

ere um no not really i have not really thought about it right  now um i would see where my destiny takes me but um well let's see what happens because you know  if i get some you know there are some scholarships and all that so if i get that maybe i will move  there but maybe after graduation just not afraid i understand and do you think um what was i gonna  ask oh have you ever traveled outside of india yes yes a lot of places like um china and then  europe i have traveled a lot of places in eu

rope then dubai maldives um then bali singapore yes is  awesome that's so fun you traveled to many more places than i have have you ever visited the us no  i haven't but i'm eagerly looking forward to visit it because you know i've heard a lot about it and  i also know a lot geography about it so where are these popular places and all those so yes i am  really looking forward to visit it someday yes yes no have you ever um visited spain too have  you ever visited spain at all no i haven't oh it'

s okay it's okay spain's a really cool place to  visit um i think even after i move away from here i'll probably come back and visit like just like  a tourist because it's a super super cool country um that's really cool that you've been to all  of those places and i think that like the next i'm a teacher i don't think i'm ever gonna  get rich but whenever i save up some money i would really like to travel to asia um because  i are like southeast asia because i talk to so many people all the tim

e from like japan vietnam  like thailand all these different places and for people in other parts of the world it's like super  cheap to travel to somewhere like thailand and so um i need to save up some money and go because in  the culture i mean even where you're at in india it's so different than like the culture that i  grew up with and it really interests me and um like being here in spain even it's still very  westernized so it's honestly like some things are different than they are in the

us but some things  are and so i would like to visit somewhere that's like really different you know yes because  in india everything is different from the us like you know the culture is totally different  over here our eating styles everything is different our clothing habits everything asian  countries have a lot in common i would say like you know japan um then thailand india  china and all of these they have a little common but um well i'd not say that they have a  lot of common with the w

estern countries yes exactly exactly and that's the thing like  europe and the us kind of have together but anyways we only have like 40 seconds but it  was so nice to meet you and to talk to you um yes i hope that you have a  wonderful rest of your night yes you do awesome thank you bye bye
