Like magic, to see different persona in the same person when chatting with a language partner. If it is true that people can never be themselves outside of their mother language, then we have four persons here for language exchanging. Wait! Can I be myself in mother language? There is difference between what I say and what I think, and difference between what I think and the flashing before I think. Peeling off layer by layer—where the language exists is where the self vanishes. Just admit I'm a person without self, and to say, to talk, to be relaxed.
