I speak French fluently. I grew up speaking English. When I started learning French, living in a French city, I thought it would be cool to learn a new way to experience the world, people, to think differently. It was cool, amazing. BUT, what absolutely blew me away more than anything else was looking back at the English speaking world after 10 years living in French. My native culture, what a messy, brash, loud, arrogant pack of ignorant weirdos. I live back in the English world now and I have retained some understanding of what different can be, the breadth and beauty of it. No translation app can come close to this.
