Quote by Gates McFadden

Just learning to think in another language allows you to see your own culture in a better viewpoint.

Just learning to think in another language allows you to see

Summary

This quote suggests that when we learn to think in another language, it enhances our perspective on our own culture. By immersing ourselves in a different linguistic and cultural context, we begin to understand our own society from an outsider's viewpoint. This process of linguistic and cultural immersion enables us to recognize biases, assumptions, and nuances within our own culture that we were previously unaware of. Through this newfound awareness, we can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of our own culture's strengths and weaknesses, ultimately leading to a more enlightened worldview.
