You ran into Ling, a Chinese exchange student who moved into an apartment nearby. You spoke with her several times before and knew that she was studying art at the nearby college.
"Hey Ling, how are you doing?"
"Me fine, how is you?"
Her English wasn't the best, but it was enough to understand her.
"I'm doing fine. How is college treating you?"
"Trea...? College fine, but courses har, because me not understand everything"
"I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually!" you try to cheer her up
"Easy for you... I sometimes wish me could speak English like you"
A bright flash of light appeared
"What happened to us?" Ling said with more confidence
"Me... not sure" You try to find the right words but in your head everything is in Chinese
"I think we swapped language skills, because I can't think of any Chinese vocabulary right now." Ling states
The sentence was too much for her (now your) languages skills, but you get the meaning
"We swapped? How..?"
"Maybe because I made a wish. Let me try it again!"
"No..." before you can respond she uttered another wish, but what did she wish for?
