Denise McQueen: Roberta

Quotes 

• Roberta : I teach the language so that I can keep discovering the gifts within the language. Our language contains within it, our original way of thinking. I'm gonna give you an example: is this glass half full or half empty? See, in English, they want you to decide if you're an optimist or a pessimist. But in Kanienke we don't have a way of explaining something is half empty because we don't have a word for empty. I used to be a glass half empty kind of person, before I understood that this concept doesn't exist in Kanienke.
