Prompt: For specifics: Yoojin Grace Weurtz wrote this essay on teaching her son Korean, bilingualism, and our relationship to language as culture. The part that struck me the most was about the blindspots that she had in Korean when interviewing a monk and her not having the language to understand what was being said because she was never taught those pockets of the language.

"I don't know what that means."
