One day, when I woke up, something felt strange. The world was not silent, but it felt unfamiliar. Everyone around me was speaking the same language… but it wasn’t mine. At first, I thought it was amazing. I believed it would be easy to communicate with everyone in the world. However, I quickly realized that I was the only one who couldn’t understand a single word.
When I left my house, people were talking happily in the streets, on buses, and in shops. Their voices blended together like music, but to me it was just noise. I felt confused, scared, and completely alone. Even the signs and messages on my phone were written in this strange language. I went to a café to buy some water, but I didn’t know how to ask for it. I tried using hand gestures, yet people only looked at me with confusion.
As the day continued, I felt frustrated and helpless. Then I understood something important: this must be how people feel when they move to another country and don’t know the language. That thought changed everything. I decided to stay calm and be patient. I used a translation app and slowly started to communicate.
By the end of the day, I had learned a powerful lesson. Language is important, but empathy is even more powerful. Sometimes, the strongest language in the world is not words; it is kindness and understanding.
