It’s not that lofty, it’s pretty much like the merrowingian put it in the second matrix movie: “cursing in french is like wiping your ass with silk” It’s not limited to cursing, some languages have unique expressions for some things that are more fitting. You have to lean into it and embrace it though, it’s like clothing or food, you have to want it and you have to enjoy it. There is no point in cooking yourself a fancy meal if you hate doing it and don’t particularly value good food. The same is true for practicing language.
I enjoy learning languages in a low pressure way. I didn’t enjoy it particularly in school.
