Spooky dooky! I sure hope Chairman Winnie the Pooh doesn’t use the Sapir-Worf Hypothesis on us!
Wouldn’t OP, should they learn a second language, still have access to their mother tongue? If so, I’m not entirely convinced learning Mandarin is going to have a doubleplusungood effect on their thinking paradigms. Please correct me if I’m looking at things from the wrong angle, however!
OP here. Chinese is not my second language, it’s gonna be my sixth one once I learn it (not counting French because I gave up on that one). I am not sentimental about any of them
