Summary/Abstract: Whoever believes that teaching a foreign language does not change the meaning of life and the universal way of thinking about life, is wrong. A foreign language cannot be learned if it is not intensively lived through the spoken words, just like one's mother tongue, which in time, one starts neglecting, in looking to intensify the perfecting of the other language, that starts occupying one's mental space with signs and sounds. It is a philological activity perfected through study, analogies and synonymy, by imposing, at one point, a personal translation of the text from the foreign language to the mother tongue. Languages have feelings, words suffer when not used to their true sense, with the speaker, acquainted with more than two foreign languages shows ease in learning other languages but also untangling a different meaning through which advanced speakers can touch souls, reaching even closer to the serenity of understanding words.
