Learning a language always affects your thinking. Each language evolved within a different society, so each evolution had different stressors forcing the invention of new words. For example, there are some 1500 words describing ice within the Inuit languages [1]. English has only a few (e.g., ice, hail, icicle), and makes do with added adjectives. A poem about ice is nuanced much more than an English poem about ice, and a translation to English wouldn't make sense. “The worlds in which different societies live are distinct worlds, not merely the same worlds with different labels attached” (Sapir, 1949: 162) [2] Language even affects the way we perceive colors.
