Language is memory and metaphor.

I grew up speaking both languages, and for me that's really important.

I'm pretty good with languages.

I'm very interested in language because it reflects our obsessions and ways of conceptualising the world.

I think the best part of learning a language is that you can see the country's culture through the language. And it gives you different levels of understanding of that culture when you really try to dig in and learn it.

Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.

I'm interested in the way language is used to navigate the world around us.

I appreciate people who try and use language in an interesting way.

I have a good ear for languages.

I have an acquired taste for language, yet it is seldom an actual focus of mine.
