“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein.

我语言的局限意味着我的世界的局限。

Phil：

Thank you very much everyone for listening to this podcast and to my sweet voice. All the questions I've been answering on this one are questions that you actually could answer to yourself and share with friends. They're all about personal development, and I think everyone deserves to talk about this together. I mean, it helps you grow as a person as well. 

非常感谢大家收听这个播客和我甜美的声音。我一直在回答的所有问题都是你实际上可以自己回答并与朋友分享的问题。它们都是关于个人发展的，我认为每个人都应该一起讨论这个问题。我的意思是，这个方式可以帮助你成长为一个人。

The language right now being in a Latin American country, of course the main language is Spanish. I learned Spanish a few years ago, actually, it was in 2020. I've been privileged because I'm French, it's easier for me. So I learned it in three months and a half, then practised a lot with friends, girlfriend and whatever. 

我们现在在拉丁美洲国家，当然主要语言是西班牙语。我几年前学了西班牙语，实际上是在 2020 年。我很幸运，因为我说法语，这对我来说更容易。所以我在三个月半的时间里学会了它，然后和朋友、女朋友和一起练习了很多。

So to me, learning a new language when you travel, learning the local language is extremely important because it helps you to connect on a deeper level with the people that are in the place. This will lead you to get adventure that you wouldn't have lived otherwise. It'll help you to communicate better with the people, and as I said, just to connect in a deeper level and to have a better understanding of who they are and how they live.所以对我来说，旅行是学习一门新语言，学习当地语言非常重要，因为它可以帮助你与当地人进行更深层次的联系。这将带你去冒险，否则你 将无法生活。它会帮助你更好地与人们沟通，正如我所说，只是为了更深层次的联系，并更好地了解他们是谁，他们的生活方式。

So now you heard a couple of lines of my personal story. Of course, if some of you wanted to get in touch with me, it's more than possible. So as a Western person, I have Instagram. So my Instagram is Phil Marshall, so P H I L, double underscore. Marshall, so m a r s h a l;. And if you do not have Instagram that's completely fine, and I will give you my email address. Are you ready? Because it's gonna be tough. p h i l dot m a r s h dot 97 at gmail.com. I created this email address about 10 years ago, thinking that it would be a trash email address and not on purpose. It became my primary email address. So I was like, oops. So now I have to spell it every time like this. I'm sorry for the pain, but that's my email address. If you go on to get in touch with me, I'm more than happy to speak with you. Thank you for listenin
