“Foreign words are not foreign to those who speak them. Each language group has a distinctive outlook on the rest of the world. When we penetrate this different way of thinking, we have added another dimension to our own personalities. On the world island where we all live it is increasingly important for us to understand the cultures and languages of our neighbors and, through this, how they think. We now have a greater opportunity of doing this than ever before, although perhaps not so much time. We owe it to ourselves –to our own survival- to become more familiar with the languages, and therefore with the cultural outlook, of our neighbors on planet earth”.
Charles Berlitz, “Native Tongues”
