My mom fell in love with our life in INDIA - trying Kerala cuisine for the first time

[@madhavkopalle]

Hindi from dadi, Finnish from mummi, English from Pappa , Malayalam from neighbours.....my head is spinning...wonder how Annika manages it so well.

[@JohannaNorth]

Most kids rather easily absorb the languages used around them and on them, it’s only really difficult for us grownups to learn with so less conscious effort 😅

[@IamGauravSinghh]

that's what I was about to say, earlier I thought her hindi is dominant but wow man She's picking every language. great ✌✌

[@madhavkopalle]

Great isn't it 😅

[@proudgadwali144]

Wrong 😂😂 Haryanvi from dadi Their mother tongue is Haryanvi You guys think that North India has only one language that is Hindi change your perception

Yes I see what u are saying about India. I lived in India for 3 years and then returned to my home country (England) for 13 months. During that 13 month period in the UK I realised how incredible India was. But didn't quite see the actual awe and wonder of it until I left the place. I'm now back in India and living with a local family. I'm slow traveling as I'm wanting to absorb India's cultural depth through living with a local family ❤

Its a life skill & a personal sanctuary she will be privileged to call her own.

The food in North Kerala/Malabar region isn’t quite as spicy hot as in many other Indian cuisines, so do try if you get the chance! My mom loves the indian restaurants in Finland so she’s been practising with the spices 😅

Hi Joanna Just stumbled upon your video. Found it interesting. You're staying in Payyannur which happens to be my maternal house. But I'm a bit confused. Your husband is a mallu & you mentioned that your in-laws are from Haryana-Rajasthan border. Didn't understand this. If you could clarify this...

Who wouldn't like Kerala despite all its pros and cons. There's no wonder your mother got transported by the mesmerising natural beauty of Kerala's landscapes and its laidback routines. It is crystal clear, Annika is inspired by local dance art forms. Who knows, presumably she'll become an acclaimed dancer someday. It's both a gift and a curse to have an upbringing in a multi-linguistical and cultural environment. It has its advantages and disadvantages. Orientation/guidance will help her to make the journey/path fruitful and remain focused.
