Beautiful piece! I will definitely be adding a Reverso Duo to my collection. Informative video, too! English is your second language? I could not have guessed that. What's your first language?
@@MainerInJapan Ha ha, no I was a refugee from Turkmenistan, but moved around a lot as a kid. There's a bunch of languages there. The main one is Russian. Actually most Turkmens people speaking Russian more than their actual native languages. The boot of Russia forced them. You're from Maine or Japan?
Jay Sikes Wow, you were a refugee? Interesting indeed! I take it you’re in the US now? How old were you when you moved there? I’m from Maine, and moved out here to Osaka about 9 years ago when I was 23. Sorry if the questions are too personal. You don’t have to answer them if you don’t want to. I’m just fascinated by people with seemingly unlikely pasts!
@@MainerInJapan Yes, In USA now. I came to US in when I was 10. This was late 90's as the cold war was officially over, but Russia was still doing persecution of peoples, and still presently! They don't like ethnic groups too much, so a bunch flee out of the areas if they can.
