Language + Culture

Section created by Caspar Pullen-Freilich

Nelson Mandela once wisely said “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head but if you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” However, I believe that the importance of learning a foreign language transcends the communication skills that are often acquired. Linguistic mastery opens the door to a stimulating journey of cultural discovery, whereby one can come to understand the way in which a given populace thinks. I therefore invite you all to venture into the realm of multilingualism. - Caspar Pullen-Freilich
