Language Learning and Desire
Lahiri explains how desire drives us to evolve and change throughout our lives, and that learning languages can translate that desire into understanding new ways of thinking and living.
"[T]here is a switch, immediately, when your brain switches into another language and with that, perhaps, into another culture, into another way of being, into another way of thinking, another way of living."
