What does l'explore mean?
The English term l’explore was simply derived from ‘learn’ and ‘explore’! But one may still be wondering, “how is this different from ‘explore’? And why is it such a French-looking word? Does the 'l' have anything to do with the French denotations of ‘le’ and ‘la’ for masculine and feminine words? To start off with, exploring starts with the act of travelling in order to learn about it, while l’exploring starts with learning, usually in small incremental steps, in order to attain enough experience and knowledge before embarking on the expedition. In other words, it can be illustrated as preparing yourself through schooling before you set yourself on a journey to a faraway place to live, as opposed to heading to the destination first before you start learning the language and culture of the particular community there. The result is that the experience of exploration is more authentic and soul-nourishing as you tune yourself to the foreign culture before immersing yourself into the environment, absorbing the greatest essence of the foreign culture by building a bridge from your inner self to the external world.
