This week we said a final goodbye to my great uncle Roy. He was awarded an OBE for being an MOD languages lecturer for over 40 years and received the Order of the Rising Sun (the third highest honour in Japan, for his languages skills that promoted international relations).
It’s that time of year again where Duolingo tells you how you’ve been doing, and it felt apt that my language learning has been good again and Uncle Roy would have been proud.
