Music touches the heart, and the heart needs a language to come out.

I first started learning foreign languages in a private high school. I had two great tutors: my English teacher was an academic genius of the English language and literature, she knew all things except one: teaching. For as much as I tried, I remember I simply could not get involved, I could not “taste” the language, my tongue felt numb, the words she spoke sounded tasteless. Aseptic.
The French teacher was some kind of bohemian, absent-minded, distracted Parisian who knew almost nothing about her language, except when she spoke to us her words simply poured out of her mouth and into my ears, and through my whole phonatory system touched my heart and started to shape my feelings and emotions.

Ho iniziato a studiare lingue straniere in un liceo privato, con ottimi insegnanti. La mia prof di inglese era giovane, molto colta e preparata su qualsiasi dettaglio della lingua e letteratura inglese, tranne uno: insegnarle. Ricordo che non riuscivo proprio a sentire il sapore della lingua, le parole le uscivano di bocca e non sapevano di niente. Erano asettiche .
L’altra insegnante era una giovane parigina, distratta e lievemente svampita, che della sua lingua madre non conosceva granché, eccetto parlarla da dio, di modo che le parole le uscivano di bocca come una musica e io me le bevevo direttamente dalle orecchie e le assaporavo con tutto il mio apparato fonatorio, che trasmetteva il messaggio dritto al cuore e ai sentimenti.
