    If you mean that “thinking” in another language influences things like your outlook and even reaction to things… you’d be correct. It’s been studied and documented that with every language you learn, you also get something of a personality upgrade that comes with being able to understand and convey concepts specific to that language.

    It’s not exactly as elaborate as gaining an whole new pov, but it’s nonetheless similar.

      Learning a second language sorta unlocked a new ‘personality’ for me, it’s kinda weird and was pretty huge. My third language didn’t seem to change much? Though it might be because it was german and I don’t feel like I will ever truly master it
