If you know two or more languages you may realize that you cannot say the same things with each language, actually there are some words that doesn’t exist in some languages. For example, I’m from Spain, there are some adjectives that doesn’t exist in English and the other way around. That is why I met English people who have not the behavior of that adjectives (which doesn’t exist) and Spanish people that don’t have the behavior of some adjectives I learned in English which doesn’t exist in Spanish. I think cultures depend on the adjectives they have, how are you gonna expect a behavior that you cannot qualify with your own language with an adjective?
As he says at the end”How can you see the wave, when you are the water?” you have to go to other waters (countries) to learn/absorb/feel about other waves(language, culture, behaviour… or whatever) and at the same time you learn about the previous water you were. |
