IT IS INTERESTING
Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
To have another language is to possess a second soul.
A different language is a different vision of life.
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
