OH goodness, what a precious and precocious boy! It's a common thing as immigrant kids tending to be the translator whether at school or at home. It's a part of life and something Timur can be proud of.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊❤️

He's so cute and very mature for his age but I hope they don't rely on him too much, he's still a kid and seems to be very empathetic, that could affect him

[@taramathews7784]

I teared up seeing how empathetic this young boy was , I wish Timur all the very best and I hope you achieve your dreams 🙏🏾 best wishes from India

[@Kyraaa-rb3vc]

What a sweet, sweet boy! and emotionally intelligent too. To understand how he feels about being a translator and articulating that, is so insightful. He needs a big hug and a lot more appreciation for his work!

What a precious boy ❤️ I teared up too when Timur started crying

[@Republicofpeter]

Timur is the real MVP here. Respect to my young man trying to hold it down as a kid. Dude is goin places.

[@tinalowen6166]

Poor Boy. It's not his job to fix the Problems. He should learn and not solve problems of others.

[@user-ly8vw3ej3v]

Он не решает проблемы. А дивет в коллективе. Так воспитывается взаимовыручка, сопереживание,так зарождается дружба.

[@vagrantastronaut]

I hope Timur can get the emotional support he needs and deserves. Being a translator and the source of hope for his family are big burdens. All the best to this kid.

[@dwogilvie_aka_wallythecrow]

Great kid. A lot of pressure but he seems to cope very well.

[@goodvibeswithb5488]

Its amazing to see the effort of the teachers to help mediate the situation between students. Here in my place, teachers merely teach, not to blame, its their job but they wont ever care even if 2 student gets in a fight, unless its physical.

[@alejandrabonilla5769]

I hope his future is full of happiness and nothing but good things come to him. Having a big burden at such a young age must be hard on him but all his hard work will eventually pay off!!

[@blue-jk2qu]

what a kind kid! almost cried when he broke down

[@happyzombiikitti]

Im a first generation American and bilingual. I had to translate for my parents at doctors offices,banks, and businesses. As a kid, I was always learning new vocabulary and words because I was the only one who spoke English fluently. I guess it got us this far, but I would do the same this child is doing for other children in my class who were learning English and couldn’t speak it well yet. It definitely matures you, but it humbles you immensely

[@Mikasaxx0]

Timur baby you've work hard. Wishing you successful in life 💙

[@jeongnip8287]

[@itsraraduh]

Timur what a precious boy you are

[@heynhamnham]

I think that he's struggling inside because his parents tell it's good if he translates because he will learn Korean fast, but he doesn't like translating that much... but he likes his parents and he likes his teacher so he's scared of showing them how he feels tired of it. Edit: they put pressure on him too early...

[@jhobabe4501]

He will definitely shine in the future! How clever and kind of him.

Thats so funny because there is so many more emotions that they express in Russian, so many more words that they say haha

[@HAPPYLUCIA]

[@thatcringygirl]

The only thing I don't agree with is calling girls' argument "simple". I don't know if that's just translator's choice of words or if they really assumed it being simple, but imho it shouldn't be called like that. For these children, those are serious problems and underestimating them just because it seems lightweight from adult's perspective isn't fair. It's big deal for them so it should be described accordingly. Children's concerns are just so important as adult's. Beside that I really respect Timur. He's doing great job as it must be physically and emotionally draining for him. Thus I hope he gets extra appreciatacion from people around him!

[@starryfish4705]

It was the translater's choice. The correct translation would be 'usual argument' instead of simple

The proper word is koryeo, not koryo. Since the ㅕ in the word 고려 can be written as yeo. And fyi the word Korea originated from koryeo, as westerners pronounced koryeo in that way and it got settled down as the official name of the country.(not 100% sure but its well known statement in korea)

[@ForeverSweetx3]

I disagree with the comments about it being a burden. When I was in 3rd grade, I translated for a new student. I wanted to make the new student feel accepted. He ended up learning English fast but I'm sure he was comforted by the fact that he had someone who could translate for him.

[@user-ly8vw3ej3v]

Тоже не согласна. В одну из школ в России пришел ребенок-мигрант..Русский не знал,ему переводил другой мальчик. Какая физика и математика, они для него темный лес. Поэтому это перввя проблема,которую надо решить-языковая. Многие мигранты нанимают репетиторов и учат язык. Потом говорят без акцента. Моя мама заканчивала корейскую школу, тогда они еще были, а русский изучала ,как иностранный. Вот для нее это было сначала темным лесом. А отец моей двоюродной сестры так и говорил с сильным акцентом на русском. Дед писал иероглифы,но русский так и не выучил. Иностранцы стесняются говорить на корейском из-за жуткого акцента.

I feel kinda sorry when i see an immagrant kid who tries to build things up for everyone bc they usually miss out their childhood I hope all the goodness will find timur

[@bridgiannini]

At 3rd grade, they should not be interpreting. Just talk to them in Korean. Within a week or two, they will become fluent. Language isn't like Math or other subjects, kids have ability to absorb them extremely quickly. ESL, bilingual education, interpretation ... is all useless at that age. In fact, it can be a hindrance. Those kinds of assistance only becomes necessary as they get older. Maybe 12+? But not in 3rd grade. They can be a straight F student, but they'll master the language. It's just the way our brain is programmed.

[@hayleybarbara1589]

I have to disagree i teach 3rd grade public school in korea and if it was as easy as youre implying my job would be much easier than it is. Kids are certainly sponges at this age but thats only in comparison to adults they still require a lot of interpretation

[@bridgiannini]

@@hayleybarbara1589 I'm guessing you're teaching English in Korea. That's different because their friends aren't speaking English 24X7 so they don't get to absorb the language. But when you put an 8 year old in an environment where one language is spoken constantly, like Korean in Korea, just leave them alone. Within weeks or months (at the latest), they will become fluent. If you're teaching English, you're just there to talk to them because that's the only time they get to interact in English. But teaching an 8 year old Korean in Korea is ridiculous. No different than teaching English to an 8 year old in England. Makes no sense. Just let them loose and let them learn from their friends and their environment. Now, if you're teaching Korean in England, yeah, sure, you need an interpreter and proper lessons. But that's completely different environment.

[@tinalowen6166]

They will not be fluent in a few weeks. I moved from Russia to Germany at 7. I could catch up what they are talking about after one year but still don't understand everything. After 3 years, German was the only language a speak. I still understand the first 2 languages I learned but I really struggle to speak them.

[@lindalai6795]

I agree. I'm a teacher. Usually only kindergarden's age under 5 or 6 that can absorbs language like sponge, without any interpreting.

[@hayleybarbara1589]

@@bridgiannini thats a good point tbh. Although for kids it can be overwhelming so i still think some interpretation should be used to help with some situations
