Someone Like You tells the story of Dawson Gage, a young architect who, after losing his best friend London Quinn, discovers her long-lost twin sister, Andi Allen. Through his journey of grief and discovery, Dawson finds love and hope, guided by faith. This narrative serves as the backbone of our lessons, with content drawing on scenes, themes, and emotions from the film to teach vocabulary, sentences, phrases, and cultural nuances in three languages. By engaging with the story, you will not only build linguistic skills but also reflect on universal themes of resilience and connection.
This book is designed for learners at all levels. Beginners will find accessible vocabulary and simple phrases, while intermediate and advanced learners can explore complex expressions and cultural contexts. The trilingual format encourages you to draw connections between languages, fostering a deeper understanding of their unique structures and shared humanity.
As you progress through this book, we invite you to embrace the story’s message of healing. Just as Dawson finds light in the midst of sorrow, we hope that learning these languages opens new pathways for connection and growth in your own life. Whether you are studying alone or with others, let this book be a companion on your journey to fluency and self-discovery.
Let’s begin this trilingual adventure together, inspired by the heart of Someone Like You.
Pham Khanh Linh is a passionate linguist, educator, and storyteller with a deep commitment to bridging cultures through language. Born and raised in Vietnam, Linh developed an early love for languages, mastering Vietnamese, Hungarian, and English through years of study and immersion. Her fascination with the interplay of language and human connection inspired her to create Vietnamese Hungarian English Trilingual Lesson of Healing, a unique language-learning book based on the 2024 film Someone Like You.
With a background in linguistics and cultural studies, Linh has spent over a decade teaching languages and developing innovative educational materials that blend storytelling with language acquisition. Her work reflects her belief that learning a language is not just about words but about understanding the emotions, histories, and values of the people who speak it. Drawing inspiration from the film’s themes of love, loss, and healing, Linh crafted this book to guide learners through a transformative journey of linguistic and personal growth.
Linh’s expertise in Vietnamese and English, combined with her fluency in Hungarian—gained through years of living in Budapest—allowed her to create a trilingual resource that celebrates the beauty of these diverse languages. Her engaging teaching style and heartfelt approach make this book accessible to learners of all levels, from beginners to advanced speakers.
When not writing or teaching, Linh enjoys exploring literature, traveling to connect with new cultures, and sharing stories that inspire hope and resilience. She resides in Hanoi, Vietnam, where she continues to develop projects that foster cross-cultural understanding and the joy of learning.
