Such a relaxed comforting video. Loved the pasta making class. 😍Seeing you and Shawnaci in the same video makes me smile.

[@khalilahd.]

Aww thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-wu7cj6pb3e]

just by listening to your conversations, you guys literally seem like such wonderful people. also i literally agree with everything u guys said!! :))

[@khalilahd.]

Thank you! They’re all so incredible 🤍

[@HandM_library]

Polyglot here I learned Dutch (mother tongue) and French in elementary school, English, German and a bit of Spanish in high school and I am currently learning Spanish, High Valyrian (I am in fact a nerd) and Mandarin. Currently, I am studying English and Dutch in uni😊 Percy Jackson is amazing btw, it reads like a dream...

[@khalilahd.]

Wow that’s incredible!! What do you think helps you the most with acquiring new languages?

[@HandM_library]

@@khalilahd. I think it definitely helps to start learning at a young age. But submersing yourself in the language and culture helps a lot too. I personally like watching movies/series in the languages I'm learning (with subtitles) ☺

[@francescagallegos2650]

You're my safe place. Every time I'm sad or want to disconnect from my problems I come here on yt and watch one of your videos, they give me a lot of good vibes and immediately afterwards I feel a little better, so thank you✨🩷

Kameron Monet, Shawnaci, Alexis Sparks and you all in one video?!?!! Why did this feel like a Disney channel show mashup from back in the day? I loved this video so much

[@TheUnwantonLife]

this was so much fun! the way you and Shawnaci were talking about the books was great, you should start an online bookclub like on Fable or do reading sprints

[@khalilahd.]

Maybe one day!

It felt like a cozy podcast. 🥰🤗

The pasta experience looked like so much fun!!! omg. 💓💓💓🥰

[@khalilahd.]

Omg yes!! It was way more interactive than I thought and really gave us a chance to take to others and have fun! I highly recommend it!

[@honeybunny8891]

The vibe is immaculate! ❤❤❤Also, if you are still in the fantasy mood I highly recommend The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. The series has four books. It was one of the few series that really grabbed my attention and had me in a chokehold (I'm also not a huge series girlie). The characters feel very real and flawed in their own way and there is just a slight romance subgenre.

[@izabeelaaa]

girl, how did you not realize that book was Beach read at the bookstore?🤣I am actually reading it now and I am enjoying it🙈

[@amiraavenetti3692]

The lord of the rings series is soooo good! Highly recommend after Harry Potter 📚📖☕️🧸🫶🏽

[@merlinsclaw]

So happy to see the Strand in your video. Best bookstore on earth. They discourage filming because of the people in the store appearing in videos they didn't consent to. You have people in your videos who have no idea they're on KZbin. Also, it's invasive to be looking for a book and trying to avoid being in a stranger's video. Next time, just take photos (NO FLASH) and put them in a montage.

[@ThatKOTLCFan]

Actually they don’t need to give consent in the US it is legal to take pictures and videos of people without their consent also she was mainly filming books and like her shoes walking

[@katgreer6113]

I don't think she was filming random strangers on purpose though 😭

[@aimeecampbell3703]

I don't blame the Strand for not allowing filming in their store without permission. It's a private business. They do have a right to control what happens in their store. With the way that people act in public sometimes, it's difficult to know who has ill intentions or who is being genuine. It's distracting and frustrating to other shoppers. If I wanted to go down an aisle and there was someone filming, I would be deterred or it would create unwanted traffic because people are waiting. You could see in the video someone wanted to look at the same stack of books but couldn't because there was a camera/phone set-up. Call ahead and just ask permission.

this vlog was so comforting! 😌 love that you and Shawnaci are friends. I'm also an aspiring polyglot and grew up bilingual. I'm currently learning spanish and want to re-learn japanese next (I took japanese classes in high school for 2 years). I completely agree that the way they teach languages in school is inefficient. I've been able to retain more lately by immersing myself in music and shows!

[@khalilahd.]

So cool! Wishing you the best with your language learning!

The Strand is just another stuffy and self-important tourist attraction. It is not illegal to film people and things "without permission." I go to the one million-book Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch next to Prospect Park. If wanting to buy something I just go to Barnes and Noble. "Indy" bookstores are overrated.
