How Leion Hey2 Helps Me Travel, Learn, and Create in Real Time By Aizere Seitjan (International Student)
When you’re an international student, you learn quickly that language is not just “words.” It’s confidence. It’s belonging. It’s the difference between being a quiet observer and being an active participant.
I study in a global environment where every day can include group projects, fast-moving lectures, new friends, and spontaneous plans—often across multiple languages. I also create content about life abroad: the small moments, the lessons, the places, the people.
And for a long time, the hardest part was this: I could either stay engaged with people — or stare down at my phone trying to keep up.
That trade-off is exactly what changed for me with LLVision’s Leion Hey2 AR translation glasses.
Real-time subtitles, but the bigger change is how I show up
The most noticeable feature is simple to describe: real-time AR subtitles appear in front of my eyes, so I can follow conversations while maintaining eye contact.
But what that actually means in daily life is bigger than a feature list. It means I can be present.
Instead of holding my phone between me and another person, I can listen, react, ask follow-up questions, and catch the details that normally slip away—tone, humor, nuance, and emotion.
The result is that I don’t feel like I’m “surviving” conversations anymore. I feel like I’m participating.
“Please speak your native language.” I can meet you there.
In multilingual settings, people often default to English to be polite. I appreciate that—but it also limits what people can express.
When someone speaks their native language, they speak faster, richer, and more honestly. I’ve learned that the best stories, the best insights, and the best connections happen when people don’t have to translate themselves first.
With Leion Hey2, I’ve started saying something I never felt comfortable saying before:
“Please speak your native language.”
Not because I expect anything from them—but because the glasses give me the ability to understand in real time, without interrupting the flow.
That small shift changes the whole energy of an interaction. It tells people: “You don’t have to perform for me. I want the real you.”
That idea—translation without breaking human connection—really resonates with me, and it’s a theme I’ve seen other Leion Hey2 users describe as well: being able to stay fully present, with no phone and no social barrier.
Phone-free travel feels safer, smoother, and more human
Travel is one of the best parts of studying abroad—but it can also be exhausting when every interaction requires a device.
In airports, cafés, train stations, or small local shops, pulling out a phone can create friction. It can be slow. It can feel awkward. And sometimes you simply want to keep your hands free and your attention up.
With AR subtitles, I can ask questions, understand answers, and move through the day with more calm and confidence—without constantly switching between “life” and “translation app mode.”
Learning becomes easier when you can follow the room in real time
In class, discussions move quickly. In group work, people interrupt, build on each other’s points, and jump between references. If you miss one sentence, you can miss the meaning of an entire paragraph.
Leion Hey2 helps me stay locked in. Instead of falling behind and guessing, I can track what’s being said as it happens and stay engaged with the room.
And because I’m not glued to a screen, I’m also more comfortable speaking up. When you understand more, you contribute more. It’s that direct.
As a creator, it helps me capture life abroad the way it actually feels
Creating content is not just recording highlights—it’s capturing real moments. The problem is that language barriers often happen in exactly those real moments: when you meet new people, when you’re traveling, when you’re trying something new, when you’re outside your routine.
Real-time subtitles let me stay in the moment and still understand what’s happening. That means I can capture experiences more authentically—without breaking the vibe by stopping to translate.
It also makes collaboration easier. If I’m filming with someone or joining a group activity, I don’t need to pause the conversation every 30 seconds to catch up.
Why Leion Hey2 matters to me
For me, Leion Hey2 isn’t about “being fluent.” It’s about being connected.
It lets me:
-
Travel with less friction
-
Learn with more confidence
-
Build friendships faster
-
Capture life abroad more authentically
-
Stay fully present—phone-free—in every conversation
The biggest compliment I can give it is this:
It doesn’t make me feel like I’m using a gadget.
It makes me feel like I’m finally showing up as myself.
