We're now in the 21st century, yet:

• We still have not managed to auto-translate ourselves with others abroad

• We have yet to realize that English is not a universal language spoken by everyone

• Dating is hard if you are not confident in speaking your partner's language.

We're Angelique and Gabriele, a Filipino-Italian couple who realized early on (during our first encounter) that communication is a key to a successful relationship. To make the relationship work, we had to learn each other's languages, and so, our communal language (mis)adventure began. In this episode, we introduced more about ourselves, recalled our key experiences when learning each other's language, shared the reason why we created this podcast.
