Reading this, it struck me that the majority of my friends speak Cantonese! How did that happen? Maybe it's time for me to learn. And I love Yiddish/Hebrew for the same reasons you described: there are some words that can't be translated and are priceless.
The world is small, and people who speak Cantonese tend to criss-cross the globe and end up in lots of different places! I really liked this lady, Margaret, whom I stumbled upon the other day. Her Cantonese is superb, and I liked the way she teaches key phrases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxTVOYrSbHs
If I spell it NATSOG would it then help me move forward instead of back? : ) he he. I love how close "word" and "world" are. I never noticed that before.

You had me there with NATSOG. I thought you were mentioning some management consultancy acronym for productivity 😉
Yes, I love it too. Words create worlds. It's a wonderful power, storytelling!
