Africans Give Me Free Food When I Speak Their Language
Published May 20, 2023, 3:20 a.m. by Bethany
When I first arrived in New York City, I was struck by the sheer diversity of the people and the languages they spoke. It was like being in a foreign country, except that everyone around me was speaking English. I quickly realized that if I wanted to get by in this city, I would need to learn to speak some of the other languages.
One of the first places I went to was an African grocery store in Harlem. I was amazed at the variety of foods and products they had on offer. But what really caught my attention was the way the staff interacted with the customers. They were always so friendly and helpful, and they would always give me free samples of food when I spoke to them in their language.
It was then that I realized that language can be a powerful tool, not just for communicating but for building relationships. By speaking the language of the people around me, I was able to connect with them on a deeper level and create bonds that would otherwise not have been possible.
Since then, I've made it a point to learn as many languages as I can. It's helped me make friends from all over the world and experience new cultures in a way I never could have imagined. And, of course, it's also helped me get free food from time to time!

come to being in africa in america with
a massive market full of african goods
traditional tribal dances and incredible
food from ghana and west africa i made a
lot of new friends here when i spoke the
tree language i think you guys are gonna
love this video but first a quick shout
out to helix sleep for sponsoring it i
get offers to sponsor my videos on
literally a daily basis and i'm
extremely picky about the companies i
agree to help me fund my endeavors i
only work with companies whose products
i personally use and love and when i
first tried out my new helix sleep
mattress i immediately knew that i
needed to get them to sponsor this video
helix sleep makes customized premium
mattresses and bedding and they
conveniently ship it right to your door
in a box just
be careful when opening
how did they fit this whole thing into a
tiny box it literally exploded
so first you take a sleep quiz to
perfectly match your body type and sleep
preferences and if you have a partner
like i do they can take the sleep quiz
too so helix can best customize the
result for both i'm more of a side
sleeper but my wife is more of a back
and stomach sleeper so a medium mattress
like the midnight lux is perfect for us
and based on my results helix matched me
with their midnight lux mattress it's a
medium firmness mattress with six custom
layers designed to be perfect for side
sleepers like me i've had it for a month
now and when i first dived onto it it
literally felt like i was flopping onto
a cloud you can tell pretty much
immediately that this is a luxury
mattress it's 1 000 times better than my
old mattress with multiple layers of
high density memory foam and 1500
individually wrapped 8 inch steel coils
this mattress is an unbelievable upgrade
to my sleep comfort and quality i tend
to get very hot at night when i sleep so
helix matched me with their glaciotec
cooling cover which is amazing and is
literally cool to the touch so it makes
my sleep that much more comfortable and
the best part is you have over three
months to try it out and you can get a
full refund if you don't absolutely love
it in addition there's a 10 year
warranty free shipping within the us and
