The marvel that is knowing a second language

It’s hard to put into words. When I was 11 the idea of whole countries speaking other languages was fascinating. Like those dreams you sometimes have where everything is surreal and otherworldly. So I moved to France nearly 20 years ago with the object aim of learning a new language. I did it and now every day is like those slightly surreal dreams. Strange words leave my mouth. I live it. I love it.
