Learning another language is like teaching yourself to have synesthesia. Teaching yourself to not only look at a strawberry and think:
"strawberry,"
but also think:
"fraise," "ichigo,"
No matter how many times I say I can speak French, it is a lie. I do not think in French. I think in English.
I shall never be truly bilingual until I think strawberry, fraise, and ichigo interchangeably.
