the thing about language is that it captures a myriad of cultural rules and ways of thinking about the world and relationships so using one’s language as part of the process of cultural healing - which is what seems to be sorely needed in australia - is part of the process. Reading a book in its original language os a very different experience to reading it in translation - even when not a native speaker of that language.

but I probably have a deeper attachment to languages than many and get that not everyone has that
