While travelling in China, I made it to the Silk Road just outside of Xi'an and was invited to get a tour of a monastery given by a local monk. He also happens to be an Esperanto speaker, so we did the video entirely in that language!
Huge thanks to Goŝka for transcribing the entire video to Esperanto for me, and to Chuck Smith for double checking and copying it to a subtitle file.

Youve very likely heard this song some time, even if (like me) youve never been to the opera. Join me as I study the lyrics in a live session recorded today!
More info:
Tomorrow, Lauren and I are going to the opera for the first time. Since we will be seeing Carmen, I wanted to get ready by learning the lyrics of the famous song La Habanera, so I figured Id share the experience talking through the lyrics in French and its translation with you live!
Since I had technical difficulties at the start of the session, and some parts of the video that werent so interesting, I edited this down a little to be easier to watch in the long term.
I hope you enjoy watching me genuinely see the lyrics for the first time!! To mix it up a bit, my video editor made cute animations of some random parts of the lyrics for me to play on screen.
The video you see that I was playing to sing from is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rjOrOt6wFw
