🇷🇺 Whist travelling the backwaters of Russia I heard about the Mordvoian people who speak a language called Moksha. And so began my journey to a village deep in Europe in search of someone who could teach me a few words.

Thank goodness that there are still many places on the globe where people are welcoming, proud of their traditions and culture, as well as opelny confident to inviting strangers to their homes to display their heritage and customs. I hope one day when things get better globally that you can travel and experience something similar, as there is nothing more humbling, and which demonstrates the true nature of mankind than entering a remote village, off the beaten track and being fed by the natives, shown their traditions and accepted like a family member, having never met the people before......it's priceless!!!

Вы сталкиваетесь с чем-то необычным для себя, от чего ваши реакции по-настоящему искренние. Помимо этого, ни разу не возникло желание перемотать хоть немного видео, потому что каждый кадр хорош! Отдельная благодарность за хороший монтаж и качество видеосъемки в целом. Хочется, чтобы благодаря вам люди видели, что для русского человека по сути нет чужих или своих. Всегда примут в дом, отогреют, накормят, потому что такова наша душа. Возможно, ваш канал направлен на освещение различных языков, но это лишь первое видео, с которым я ознакомилась. Оно мне очень понравилось! Спасибо большое еще раз! Счастливых вам приключений и новых открытий!
