Expression in Different Languages

I greatly appreciate this observation:
For example, a person fluent in both English and Aboriginee, two languages that developed seperately from one another. Can they concieve a thought and express in to have the same meaning in both languages?
I am currently in Lebanon, and I feel as if I have a great advantage seeing as I am able to express myself in English, Lebanese, and French with my peers. I am certain that upon my return, it will be somewhat difficult to limit myself to solely English once more, although it is a lovely language. It is possible that I may find myself temporarily stumbling over words, trying to find an efficient way to express my sentiments.
This past year in Honors English II, I realized how wonderfully the Bible could assist one in drawing connections to literature. During the Pentecost, the disciples were able to spread a common message to all passerby due to the power presented to them by the Holy Spirit, allowing them to converse in the many tongues of the world. The emotions of the disciples were undoubtedly fully expressed considering that every sort of speech was readily utilized.
