The algorithm just shared this post with me and I loved it -- especially writing notes to your future self in that language! I will be doing that from now on!
I also appreciated the point that you don't know what shapes you. It's true -- you can't quantify or sometimes even qualitatively describe the impact something has and inevitably leaves on you, but it's consequential nevertheless!
Thank you for sharing such wonderful perspectives! ❤️
We are not machines and therefore we need not what we need in a pragmatic sense, but what can shape a character, a personality. Some years ago I had the same idea as a lead motive for social gatherings, that of approaching a totally new language, well aware that learning is nourishment and not possession. Furthermore, a language is not a tool but involves you into an experience, forcing you to overcome your shyness 😍
Hi Patrizia, Yes I agree, that what we really need is something that can’t be really be measured, and it’s unfortunate that the dominant culture often teaches us otherwise.
