Hi Summer Bee. Welcome!
Years ago I lived in a town in Northern Ontario and there were lots of Polish ladies in the area. Most of them spoke no English and I spoke no Polish. However, they invited me to go out foraging with them for mushrooms one spring. We had a lot of fun and they felt convinced they had taught me how to find good ones, but because of the language barrier, I was scared to go do it by myself after that. I hope you’ll share more about foraging!
