Folks,
A person shouldn't go through life without knowing more than one language. I know three and one of them has words from 6 to 7 languages. Then, the person will learn that how language limit their view/model of the world. Just by describing an event/situation with two different languages and you will notice the biases in each language.
How do you teach the blind the color of red?

P.S.: I come from an environment where I have no first language. I learnt three languages simultaneously and we can speak to each other at home with three different languages. And, we mix words from three languages within a sentence. We are so language agnostic that if you ask me 30 seconds later as to what language was I talking in, I cannot remember.
