Description
Korean book artist Jana Sim created this trade edition with one Möbius strip (a loop with a half-twist in it) to illustrate and symbolize the difficulty of learning another language. ”The most difficult part of learning another language is everyday conversation where an immediate response is needed. Language Möbius is about my conversation process. The loop in my brain goes like this: hearing English, thinking in Korean, translating, then speaking in English.” Description from Vamp & Tramp Booksellers.
