언어를 배운다는 것(To learn a language)
To learn a new language is to absorb all the contents scattered between the horizons of that language.
언어를 새롭게 배운다는 것은, 그 언어의 지평 사이사이에 있는 모든 내용들을 흡수한다는 것이다.
또한, 언어를 배우는 자신을 원래 가지고 있던 자신의 세계로부터 기꺼이 새로운 세계에 노출시키겠다는 것이다.
애초에 이중 언어를 완벽히 구사하는 것은 불가하다. 자신의 모국어에 기대어 새로운 언어를 이해하는 것이다.
그러므로, 새롭게 언어를 배운다는 것은 나 자신을 그 알 수 없는 새로운 세계에 내맡기고, 두 세계의 경계에 머무르면서 새로운 자신을 만들어가는 것이다.
To learn a language - to learn a new language is to absorb all the contents scattered between the horizons of that language.
Moreover, it is willingly exposing oneself from one's original world to a new world.
It is impossible to perfectly master bilingualism from the outset. It is about understanding a new language relying on one's mother tongue.
Therefore, to learn a new language is to entrust oneself to that unknown new world and, while lingering at the boundaries of two worlds, to create a new self.
