Learning new words, learning new languages opens up different understandings of the world and yourself Reminded of describing “rain” in Irish Gaelic. Rain can be described as "báisteach" or "fearthainn", drizzle or misty rain is "ceobhrán" and "brádán" or "Tá sé ag draonán báistí" The expression "tá sé ag dríodarnach báistí", is a type of light rain. "Ceathanna", "múrtha" or "scrabhanna báistí" is showers of rain while "aimsir cheathach" or "aimsir spairniúil" describes showery weather. The word "craobhmhúr" is useful in describing scattered rain or a light shower. "Breacbháisteach" is occasional rain. And rain with blowing sideways can be described by "seadbháisteach" or “seadbhraonta"

I speak 4 languages and it’s like I have 4 different personalities (ways of thinking) in me. It makes me so open to the world.

How interesting, but I can relate. Although I can only speak 3 and kind of 2 now (English and French) and the 3rd has atrophied (German). What languages do you speak?
