la guerre de langue | Part I

A series of interviews with a Polish ex-pat living in Toronto and a Parisian newcomer to Toronto, Canada where we, the philosophizing wanna-be's, discuss the acquisition of language, and how that that gets manifested in our own consciousness and interactions with the self and the Other.

I hope to also make more videos about the intersection of language and psychoanalysis, particularly the coalescing of French and English, to help with my own frustrations and anxieties as the subject-in-process in language.

Are you sure his native language isn't English?

[raisecain]

@gabsylv no, he's born and raised in Paris.

I felt that this was extremely engaging, I am fascinated by this. Really grateful to hear his perspective, intergating/learning a new language at the age of 27 and wondering my own parent's experience, if it were similar or different, having to intergate English to their Italian language when they immigrated at a younger age of 15.
