Asimov and Sedaris share with us their own personal experience.  Both of their stories are similar.  They both compare themselves to other people.  Asimov speaks about how he thinks he's real intelligent until he goes to his auto-repair man.  His auto repair man shows him that, he is too educated and book smart to even relate to a joke.  The communication (language) was not understood by Asimov.  Sedaris's experience is about himself and an actual foreign language that is he in school for.  He has a hard time speaking French and also his teacher is hard on him and the whole class.  Sedaris's end point shows us that speaking a language and understand it is completely different.  Both show that knowing different languages helps you communicate better and also an easier way to connect with others.
