If you mean that “thinking” in another language influences things like your outlook and even reaction to things… you’d be correct. It’s been studied and documented that with every language you learn, you also get something of a personality upgrade that comes with being able to understand and convey concepts specific to that language.
It’s not exactly as elaborate as gaining an whole new pov, but it’s nonetheless similar.
Learning a second language sorta unlocked a new ‘personality’ for me, it’s kinda weird and was pretty huge. My third language didn’t seem to change much? Though it might be because it was german and I don’t feel like I will ever truly master it
I’ve studied Spanish (I’m basically fluent), a bit of Japanese on my own in high school along with a bunch of random false starts in other languages like German (and a stint learning Esperanto).
It wasn’t until my 30’s when I started learning Mandarin that my brain was like “holy shit, this is different!”
I tend to prefer Asian languages because they make more sense to me — all the conjugating and irregularities in European languages just make me crazy.
