    It was weird learning how many of the random words I had in my vocabulary were actual foreign words, not even loan words but just had been used by neighbors who had likely had immigrant parents or were immigrants themselves. Ciao, sayonara, adios, ohayo (which I seriously thought was just, “Oh! Hi! Oh!” as if it was an exaggerated ahoy)…
