Although out mother tongue seems perfectly easy to us, its rules obvious and its patterns predictable, even linguists can agree that every language presents its own set of pitfalls for those willing to learn it and those natives thinking they have mastered them. Tiny nuances, dialects and a different intonation can result in misunderstandings and even arguments, given the circumstances, and have often raised the discussion about creating a universal language, at least for diplomatic purposes. However, while projects such as the creation of Esperanto have failed, much of this issue is linked to our understanding of what a language is, which is often quite limited and lacks a certain kind of open-mindedness. For example, while our readings of a piece of art may vary, the general understanding of it is more or less the same, even though the cultural context may be different.
