The new language brings a new culture, identity, and way of life. When learned to cope with being dislocated and fitting into a new society, it can also deepen many losses.

It creates a sense of disconnection from both old and new languages and cultures, leaving one feeling caught between them without a strong sense of belonging. As Kristeva said, between two languages, silence becomes a way to express the pain of being in-between.

A curious mind, living with a passion for learning and discovery
