While in South Sudan's capital - Juba, the polyglot traveler was able to effortlessly engage in conversations with locals from all around the world during their journey.

🗣️ Wait!!! wait!! Polyglot? What do you mean?

🎙️well, a 'Polyglot' is a person who speaks more than one language. For example, Acuïïl speaks Arabic; English, Mandarin; Jïëŋ, Kiswahili and French. So he's a polyglot.

Reviving a language is not just about words, it’s about restoring identity, history, and worldview. And we are using this platform as a tool to reviving the endangered languages and Cultures in Africa.

Look, Ojibwe in Canada and the US was revitalized through community classes, digital platforms, and youth engagement.
