“Learning another language…”

“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”

– politician Nelson Mandela

“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things”

– journalist Flora Lewis

“Language shapes the way we think and determines what we can think about”

– linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf

“If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world”

– philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein
