It's a win-win situation to learn a new language. First, you open yourself thousands of opportunities and horizons business, academic and social wise to begin with. Then you get to learn different approaches of thinking, as language is directly related to ways of thinking.

If a language uses a form such as Verb-Subject-Object rather than Subject-Verb-Object, this explains alot to the social thinking behind it.
That's very true!
I'd like to ask you a question about it, do you find you become a bit different person according to language you use?
I've noticed i have a bit schisophrenic tendency to act/think in diffrent way when i use polish, english or french. I just wonder if it's because of diffrences in those languages or simply i'm a freak ...
