Changing Lens: A Teen's Journey Across Five Languages

By Felix Mao

Accidentally learning English, Spanish, Latin, Chinese, and Japanese, he finds language opens vivid cultural perspectives.

Is language learning really just memorization? In Changing Lens, Felix takes readers through his journey across five languages--English, Chinese, Spanish, Latin, and Japanese--full of unexpected turns that reshape how he understands language, culture, and the people around him.

From the triumph of ordering takoyaki at a street stand in Japan to the confused looks in Mexico that became some of his most memorable lessons, each language opens a different window onto the world.

Changing Lens is a teenager's story about embracing curiosity, immersion, and the transformative power of learning languages across cultures.
