Quote by Fred Frith

It's like learning a language you can't speak a language fluently until you find out who you are in that language, and that has as much to do with your body as it does with vocabulary and grammar.

It's like learning a language you can't speak a language flu

Summary

This quote implies that fluency in a language requires more than just knowing vocabulary and grammar rules. It suggests that understanding one's identityâ€”with an emphasis on the bodyâ€”is crucial in truly mastering a language. By discovering who you are in that language, you can connect with its nuances on a deeper level and communicate more effectively. Just as our individual experiences shape our understanding of a language, knowing ourselves and how we relate to the world allows for a more authentic fluency.
