Then she started the class and she pointed to me and asked for the introduction. But I was concentrated on the camera I didn't notice her voice and my friend asked me to say my introduction. As I said I am from Nepal she told that she knew Nepali language because she was born in Darjeeling, Indai. After she shift to other friend next to me he was from Bangledesh she also knew Bangali languages as well. It was good experience that she knew many languages.
