definately true -- languages have their own feel or
vibe as well, when i could still speak spanish, i
noted a huge difference between my
attitude/personality when i spoke spanish as opposed
to when i spoke german as opposed to when speaking
english.  

spanish, italian seem livelier than other
languages...ironic as they stem from latin (i believe)
and latin is quite dead(though some would claim
otherwise -- these people are still looking for
elvis...)
