Secret language

At her Tae Kwon Do class at the end of sparring partners have to bow to each other and say "kamsamida"
Gwen: Mom, I think I am the only one who knows that "kamsamida" means "thank you" in Korean (she picked up a few Korean words from our movies and travels)
Me: Isn't it great to understand another language?
Gwen: Well, actually I do not like when people understand Russian, because than I no longer have my "secret language". And it is so nice to be able to have secrets and only share with chosen few -- makes me feel spacial.
.....
Ahh, in a short time she would probably want the opposite, to blend in, so it is nice that she appreciates knowing another language right now.

Little show off

On a playground in Moscow talking with a boy and his Mom:

Gwen: So in what country do you like to live in and what language is your favorite?

Boy: Russia, and of course, Russian -- why? (the boys was really surprised by the question, probably doesn't get many like this one)

Gwen: Well, I am just visiting Moscow, but I live in Boston and speak both Russian and English!

Boy's Mom: How lovely! So where do you like it best in Moscow or Boston?

Gwen: To be honest, in Toronto, Canada --- there are museums, swimming pools, etc....
