If I'm a polyglot, why are my videos in English? + language community issues [AFR]
Language community, it's time we get back to the heart of what it means to be a polyglot and not hold back on sharing more linguistically diverse content. How can we foster a more supportive, accessible and diverse community? 😊
There are so many "Polyglot speaks X language" videos but not many that actually share the process and progress behind it. Why are we worried that uploading a video in another language will not get as many views as in English? Isn't language diversity worth more than views? 🤔 ... and yes, that's exactly why this entire video is in Afrikaans! 🇿🇦
It's not easy and there are so many factors to take into consideration - I feel the struggles too! What are your thoughts? 💕 (Press CC for English subs)
