Just imagine... you're about 18 years old. How much did you live? How many different things you learned and experienced... Come on, at the end it's 18 years. Ok?
So, suddenly, you listen a new word. A completely new word. A word that you had never listened before. Never.
Initially it sounds as something nonsense. Just a new sound. A new "albalaba" that someone said. No meaning related to that at all.
albalaba albalaba albalaba
Eventually you even think: "Hey, it's sound nice! albalaba!!"
But it's simply a sound. A noise. You can pronounce it without any worries. Try: albalaba, albalaba.
Remember, all your childhood is gone. You're almost an "adult".
albalaba. A new sound. A new word. Nothing else. Can you imagine it happening to you right now?! Try...
My friend, Andrea, born in Czech Republic, heard, for the first time in her life, at her 18's, the word 'religion'.
