Learning a foreign language is an experience like no other. It is a skill that cannot be learned in solitude. It is something which has to be practiced in public with other people and requires a degree of human connection. It gives us a unique perspective into a different way of thinking and feeling.

In this video I detail some of the biggest lessons I gained from language learning and how it can help us in the realms of critical thinking, finding meaning, and making sense of the world around us.
