"Learning a foreign language can reconceptualize your view of your own native language. This is a specific example of the general principle that true understanding of anything requires viewing it from an outside perspective. You don't understand America until you have traveled in other parts of the world. You don't understand science until you have studied art, religion, and literature (and vice versa)."
