Watched an interview with a linguistics professor today, discussing the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. She said, "Sometimes people say, 'I feel more passionate when I speak Spanish,' or 'I feel more precise and organized when I speak German,' but they often don't take culture into account...".
I speak neither Spanish nor German so I just nodded, taking this in. Tonight scrolling videos I see one for a German TV game show where contestants have to cut something precisely in half. I laughed out loud.
@madewokherd It takes so long to reach that level where you can express yourself! :) I almost got there with French, as a teenager. Then I lost it, sigh.
