Languages

I have never looked deep into the structures of the chinese language before, nor did I need to study it in order to become better at it. It has always been there for me, without thinking, without effort. It grew with me as the ages pass by and my language processing center for the chinese language are forever intertwined with my primitive brain, my emotional brain and my logical brain… It's like second nature.

A colleague asked me to teach him chinese and I started looking into the chinese language structure. It is only then I realize how much… how complex it is and how amazing that my brain processes all these without giving it a thought.

Unlike my english, which is a constant struggle of grammar checking and spellchecking with my logical brain… the conscious. A much slower process.

I am surprised at my french however. As I build more confidence with it and getting more positive reinforcements through the people I interact with, I find out that my french is more natural than my english language. It seems as though english… is a conscious effort that I force upon myself and it is not natural for me. Yet it is my most fluent language.
