On the concept of language.
An incident yesterday had me thinking about the concept of language, and how very complex it is. Since language is so much more than words – it’s tone of voice, and expression, and body language, and posture.
And I think that the more one is relaying on those more subtle forms of communication, the harder it is for them to communicate with mere words. And vice versa. And also, the more one is apt at reading body language and posture and tone of voice, the less one will be good at reading and translating verbal communication.
Which is why when one can sometime feel like one is speaking Second Language, even when both are speaking fluent Hebrew?
