Learning a Foreign Language Is Like Growing a New Eye on Your Face

Being satisfied with speaking one language means having a narrower view of the world, limiting your knowledge and open mindedness. You will be able to think in the new language and think differently from the way you do in your own. By immersing yourself in a different culture, you will have the fascinating experience of viewing your own culture with detachment. What seems normal or abnormal in culture may not be so in another. This has the amazing effect of opening up your mind and giving you greater independence, greater freedom to think, imagine and ennovate. There is no excuse for not having this ability. Even idiots can manage it.
