Simply just don’t know.
It’s true. There’s a lot I don’t know. Not just about French, its culture … about everything.
But hey, that’s why we’re learning, right? The more I learn, the more I need to learn. That’s the philosophical depths that we look into when we start learning. Start rewiring. Well, it’s true of everything except language. The more I learn about most topics the more I realize I need to learn.
But with language, we plateau, we get good enough to hold our own in conversations. It feels like we’re experts. We call ourselves polyglots. What does that mean? Even English, a language I’ve spoken for 3 and a half decades, I still come across words, turns of phrase, and clever wordchoices that make me go “huh”. That get me to stop and think.
Always be learning. When it comes to language, never stop. There’s so much to learn, even when we plateau and think we know everything.
When I learned Chinese, I thought I was an expert, then I got a job, and realized the whole wealth of vocab around costs, sales, travel, and education that I didn’t know. I had never been exposed to, I didn’t even know it existed. Then I changed jobs again, and learned a load new vocab in the world of performance marketing online. There’s just so much out there we simply just don’t know.
