Mrs Pashou — “English was, for me, a language without sound”
Patient testimony (reported)
Documentary testimony, second-hand. The words of a patient, reported by Toni Maha Evangelopoulos during her appearances on Greek public television (EPT TV, April 2010). Translated from Greek.
“My first foreign language was German, which lies in the low frequencies; English, by contrast, is much higher. My hearing was therefore blocked precisely in the frequencies of English. I read English out of professional obligation, but I could not follow a conversation: English was, for me, ‘a language without sound.’ After the programme, English has a sound: I can speak, I can follow. Professionally, I can now be where I was not — I am even preparing to give a talk in English at a conference.”
