Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting?


Welp, self explanatory.

In spaish is easy to catch foreign speaker (even writting), but... is the same for us foreign speakers?

If anyone likes to read, check out Through the Language Glass by Guy Deutscher. He explains how language actually shapes thoughts. An example may be that French contains 7500 different ways to express color. This is an exaggerated number but it proves they can perceive more about something’s beauty because they have a lot more references.  Also German has a lot more direct and absolute terms. While it may seem “harder” it’s beneficial in engineering.  It’s a good read if your into the subject. I thought it was fascinating. His daughter is Alma Deutscher, the violin and piano prodigy.
