Rebecca Serle
“They say language comes better to people who are right-brained, but I'm not so sure. I think you need a certain looseness, a certain fluidity, to speak another language. To take all the words in your brain and turn them over, one by one, like stones - and find something else scrolled on the underside”
― Rebecca Serle, In Five Years

Alistair MacLeod
“As an individual struggling with a language not his own he was difficult to dislike.”
― Alistair MacLeod, No Great Mischief
