When I was young I used to believe that people who spoke different languages only understood each other because they had different brains which heard the words in English
A childhood belief about foreign languages
others believed things like this
- At the age of four I believed I was soooo smart. I spoke TWO languages...English AND American!— Melinda
- I thought that people who spoke a different languages were aliens.— Phoebe
- I used to think that even people who spoke something other than English, thought in English— Peaches
- I used to believe that, no matter what language other people spoke, that everyone thought in EnglishAnon
- I used to believe that people's brains differed in colours. I always wanted purple brains for some reason.— Katrina
- I used to think everyone in the world knew and thought in English, but choose to speak different languages. Anon
