I read the article during my lunch hour and thought it was fascinating! The example mentioned about how English and Mandarin speakers differ in their ways of thinking with regards to space and time was a good example for me to understand. I don't speak Mandarin but Cantonese speech patterns are similar in this case, and in the given example, I--as a bilingual thinker/speaker--would actually speak it as a Chinese speaker would even though English has long been my primary (but not my first) language.
