All Things CLASS

🌎💬 Language barriers go beyond words - and there are great resources to support you!

Thank you to everyone sharing their experiences - this is such an important and honest reflection. 💛

Translation tools can be helpful, but they don't always capture meaning, culture, or context. Language barriers aren't just about Spanish vs. English - they also include dialects, expressions, cultural norms, and experiences that vary by country and community.

What does come through, though, is respect, patience, and genuine effort to connect. Even when the words aren't perfect, relationships, trust, and warmth matter deeply - and those are universal.
