Something more than just learning a new language. Not so simple as that. Learning a new language implies having already learnt the first one. Learning a new language isn't just about the words. There is the context, the history, culture, and sense. There is the need to read and read and read. To observe, feel, and breathe. Now that's learning

Chanson d'Automne
Paul Verlaine
Les sanglots longs the long cries
Des violons the violins
De l'autonne the autumn
Blessent mon coeur hurt my heart
D'une langueur in the langour
Monotone. monotonous
Tout suffoquant all suffocating
Et blême quand and pale when
Sonne l'heure, rings the hour
Je me souviens i remember
Des jours anciens the old days
Et je pleure. and I cry
Et je m'en vais and I going
Au vent mauvais the ill wind
Qui m'emporte which carries me
Deçà, delà hither, thither
Pareil à la same as the
Feuille morte. dead leaves
