I still remember that day, even though it was years ago. Why don’t we allow ourselves more opportunities for pure joy?

This is really interesting. I grew up bilingual and have noticed that I do, indeed, feel different when I speak each language. My voice sounds different, too. I wonder how differently I act “in” each language…
People who are bicultural and speak two languages may actually shift their personalities when they switch from one language to another, according to new research
“Language can be a cue that activates different culture-specific frames,” write David Luna (Baruch College), Torsten Ringberg, and Laura A. Peracchio (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee).
Alice Ganda (NY):
I am a 22-year old Chilean-American, raised in New York City while spending my summer vacations in Chile since I was six months old. I spoke Spanish at home and learned English in school and have always been able to switch between both languages very easily. When I speak in English, my voice is very monotone, low and at times soft-spoken. But when I speak Spanish, the pitch in my voice is much higher and varies more in sound, its also more assertive sounding and stronger.Any one of you out there experience this too?
