is the process of learning to think I think about how learning a new language is like learning a new way of thinking. I am only fluent in English, but I would like to know how thinking in a different language may influence the thoughts/conclusions you might arrive at.
She liked English because: "It's like Jello and I love Jello."
She also remarked that, for all we go on about German temperament,
German poetry was much more nuanced when conveying emotions.
But, since I can barely read German, I have no idea if she was bullshitting me or not.

Humans been making and tweaking (and still are) tweaking, the "recipes" of different languages for thousands of years - and now non-sentient beings have the recipe.Yes on the recipe, but "non-sentient beings"? Some hubris needs checking at the door.
