Imagine not being able to understand English. It would be pretty hard to go to school. You wouldn't know what was going on... you would have no idea which classroom to go to, or even who your teachers were.
Molly and Maxim imagine what it's like to move to a country where you can't speak the language before Noah and Cody talk to this episode's guest about exactly that experience!
I actually did speak Farsi at home, and it wasn't until probably year one that I could really start to speak English... when I was at school, I used to be able to understand people, but then my reply would be in Farsi. I remember people looking at me going, I don't know what you're saying, but I understood them. So that was interesting!Pariah Taherzadeh
