Nelson Mandela once said that "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart".
I think it is true. In fact, this might explain why I don`t enjoy reading poetry in foreign languages whereas I prefer reading horror books in English, Spanish or French rather than in Portuguese, my native language.
It seems that reading a disgusting or scaring story in a different language helps me to get some distance to that.
