As a multilingual
02.28.05 (11:48 pm) [edit]I have been feeling funny ever since I got out of class where a heated discussion in French took place. I cannot help but translate every word and sentence I run into and occurs in me into French recently, which causes nausea and dizziness. I learned to speak French as a little kid and French naturally comes out as other languages including Engilsh. Still given that I have been away from any French for a looong time,to say the least of academic discourse that involves even more complication in depth, I need to take some more time to adjust this new environment (where all other students are from Haiti or French native speakers one way or another, by the way) to feel more comfortable about this frequent switching of the linguistic gear in my system, which is all about something very physical.
