Episode Synopsis

If you only speak one language, you might assume that other languages are more or less like codes. You just swap some words for others, and change the order around a little bit, and “voila!”
In fact, it’s not like that at all. Every language has its own assumptions, and normally close ties to the culture from which it comes.
Learning a language means we can learn to challenge our way of thinking, to think in a different way. The things we assumed which were previously obscured now start to become prominent.
As we go deeper, we start to realize that people speak a certain way because people’s souls are a certain way. To truly understand, we must immerse ourselves. These things don’t come from a classroom, from a textbook. We can’t be methodically schooled on the deepest parts of our being. But perhaps some hidden aspect of Self will be revealed when we learn a language.
