Foreigner's point of view

I've experienced it myself.

When I was learning English and Spanish and was asking weird questions (weird for those who learn a language in the childhood so think less about nature of concrete words).

I still see this around: today my friend tweeted that "die Vorsicht", caution in German, is feminine.

And then I saw the same but in reverse. The deepest thought about one Russian word, гулять - to stroll in any direction, both physically moving and mentally having good time.

Here is that nice article about this particular Russian word by Tyler who lived in Moscow for nine months and learned Russian. Enjoy:
