6月21日は、一年で一番昼が長い日「夏至（げし）」でした。東京では夜の7時ごろまで明るいですが、私がヨーロッパへ行った時、夜の9時を過ぎてもまだ明るいのでびっくりしました。日本に比べて、ヨーロッパの夏は本当に昼が長いですね。これからは少しずつ昼の時間が短くなっていきますが、夏は始まったばかりです。あなたの住んでいるところでは、今、何時ごろまで明るいですか？

June 21st was "Geshi," the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. In Tokyo, it stays bright until around 7 PM, but when I went to Europe, I was surprised that it was still bright even after 9 PM. Compared to Japan, summer days in Europe are truly long.

Con un ojo al gato

How do you split your personality when speaking English?

It took me 9 years to understand it and over 20 thousand 1-1 sessions with my clients.

A personality split or a shifting sense of self – in the context of acquiring a new language. It’s not a true “split” in the clinical sense of dissociative identity disorder (formerly multiple personality disorder). 

Instead, it’s a dynamic alteration in how we present ourselves, think, and feel, contingent on the linguistic environment we find ourselves in. Let me elaborate:

The Essence of the “Shifting Sense of Self”

Imagine your native language as a well-worn, comfortable garment. It’s woven into your personality, shaping your sense of humor, emotional expression, and even your thought patterns. When you learn a new language, it’s like trying on a new set of clothes – at first, it feels unfamiliar, perhaps a bit ill-fitting. As you become more proficient, the “garment” becomes more comfortable, influencing your “self” in new ways.
