MY LOVE FOR LANGUAGES

On my exchange year in Berlin 2014-2015 I often thought people, from all around the world, said something in either Finnish or Swedish even though they were talking in their native language. It turned out that words in several languages have the same sound but entirely different meanings. These are called Homonym words. I started collecting these word pairs, as I thought this was hilarious. A few years later, I decided to illustrate some of them.
