Both Sedar is and Asimov both have similar realization of language, They both realize that people are better then others at certain things. For example Asimov speaks about how he was always good at certain test that were giving to him thru out his life. This is because he is able to understand the language of the people making the test. He is just able to understand the language of the test therefore he will always score high cause of his alit to do this. Sedar knows that taking French will be difficult but in order to do it he has to learn from someone who is better at French then he is. This is showing us that people are able to do better in life if they are able to understand different languages. Not just in the sense of people that speak different language but people that are able to understand what they is going on and what is expected from them thru the language hat is being use almost like a certain code What is similar about these to stories is also how Sedar was able to learn the language being taught to him from his teacher.But Asimov wasn't able to understand a joke that was told to him by a friend. This is because he didn't really understand the kind of language he was using by telling the joke. Asimov wasn't a common sense smart but book smart. This is how both realize how important language really is.

Good way to put it--"This is because he didn't really understand the kind of language he was using by telling the joke." You got it.
