There are many ideas to support your question and these are the following:
- Our perception of the world can be altered through learning new language.
- There can be a change of your point of view of the world when you will learn new words and vocabularies.
- There are some people who are confined with their language of birth.
- It depends on the use of language on how you expand or limit your viewpoint of the world.
-Lastly, we are free from our own langue.
