Chapter 1443
Danny observed Stella and noticed this was the first time since he rose to his current position that someone had taken the lead in a conversation in their language with him. He found it rather intriguing.
“You make a valid point,” he remarked. “Did you ask me to speak Hustuabourgian because you’re not proficient in Yostrainian?”
Others turned their attention to Stella upon hearing that.
Being bad at Yostrainian was not a big deal, but the fact that she asked Danny made it seem like she was ignorant. With Jaylene, who was fluent in Yostrainian, standing nearby, it inevitably made people think less of Stella. They realized that they not only had different upbringings but also varying education levels and views as well.
Wenham was about to speak up for his daughter, but Stella admitted, “My speaking is average, but I have no problem understanding you.”
People learn language when they can practice it in an environment where it is often used. Stella had long set Yostrainian aside after she passed it in sixth grade.
