“We commit ourselves to language and community at the same time”

Toni Morrison

Simplified Meaning:

When we learn to speak a language, we also connect with the people who speak that language. For example, if you start learning French, you don't just learn words and grammar. You start to engage with French culture, make friends who speak French, and understand their way of life. Language isn't just about words; it's a bridge that links us to others. When you join a community that speaks a different language, you become part of that group, share experiences, and build relationships. This means that by learning a new language, you're also committing to being part of a new community and its customs.
