This book introduced words from foreign languages that can not be translated in another language.

Language and culture tightly interact with each other and also create national characters.

Some culture have unique word such as “Boketto” in Japanese.

Many Japanese people are doing “Boketto” without being aware of it.

Boketto means, “to gaze vacantly into the distance without really thinking anything about specific.”

I also like the word ”Waldeinsamkeit” in German which means, “the feeling of being alone in the woods. This feeling can be described as wonderful, poetic, peaceful, calm, relaxed, at one with the universe, infinite, free, loving, and meditative.”

I realized I love that feeling of Waldeninsamkeit, and therefore, I am trying to make more time to be isolated and in total silence.

This gives me time to notice my many feelings.

And although I can describe my feelings in Japanese, sometimes my feelings are beyond words. 

Leaving my feelings unnamed leaves the door open to my feelings.

Sometimes If I speak out my feelings in detail, I can’t completly feel the feelings I have.

I think words have a power to remove and recreate feelings.

This means my experience cannot be fully understood by my culture. 

This is one reason why I like to speak in English. Because, it allows me to express what's in my heart using words that do not exist in Japanese.
