For me there are several reasons to learn languages: 1. It’s fun and rewarding to make new friends and experience new cultures in a more intimate way. 2. It’s great for brain training and I now feel stronger in other areas. 3. Ward off dementia. 4. You learn HOW to learn a language. For me, the first foreign language was the hardest. 5. Piggybacking from (4). Let’s say one day the international lingua Franca changes. I may not speak the language it becomes, but I will know where to begin and have the skill of learning. 6. To understand other cultures, helps us understand our own cultures better. 7. You can shock natives on social media
Thank you for the video, I've recently asked myself the same question and almost came to the conclusion that there's no point learning another language when I'm not going to use it, but I love it too much
Lindsay, un grand merci, car aujourd'hui j'avais besoin de ce coup de pouce. Il est VITAL de connaître certaines langues, car elles vous ouvrent l'esprit aux trésors d'autres cultures, mais encore plus aux coopérations internationales pour le travail ou le commerce, voire à l'acceptation dans les diasporas utilisant la ou les langue(s) que vous connaissez. Today, I had to remind the place where I work, in England, that a colleague I met there , whom does not speak anything else than English and had a closed attitude to diversity, that it was not healthy for the mind and also for health of any service long term.
The less we fear, the less we discriminate: so true!
Bonsoir :
Salut Lindsay, merci beaucoup pour ces réflexions sur l'importance de l'apprentissage des langues et comment nous pouvons en faire une priorité dans nos vies. J'ai aimé l'idée de faire de l'apprentissage d'une langue un passe-temps que nous pratiquons comme une habitude quotidienne. En fait, c'est exactement ce que j'ai fait lorsque j'ai commencé à apprendre la langue française. Depuis mon enfance, j'ai ressenti une envie irrésistible de lire, ainsi, je passais de longues heures à lire des romans de grands écrivains français, comme Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, La Fontaine, et d'autres écrivains français classiques. Grâce à cette lecture, j'ai pu développer mes connaissances linguistiques en langue française, et mon style d'écriture dans cette langue, jusqu'à atteindre le niveau B2 en français, selon la norme européenne pour l'apprentissage des langues, et je m'engage actuellement à développer ma compétence de parler en langue française, en communiquant avec des locuteurs natif de cette langue via Internet, pour élever mon niveau linguistique aux niveaux avancer, merci.
Cordialement
I have been going to anime conventions for 20 years and Every Time wish I had kept up with my Japanese, but my unaddressed attention problems and short term memory issues make me a crap teacher and a worse student. The few times I have been able to bust out a phrase or two it always takes the visitors aback because they are presumably used to how rude and comparatively uncultured the U.S. is. But it's such a beautiful language! I am, however, thankful for my younger self for always keeping my trusty dictionary near whenever I would read. I love the Romance language roots that allow you to glean meanings and similarities between words and even other tongues. I am no scholar but I nerd out about new discoveries all the time.
Said eloquently 👍
yea good video learning languages takes a long time but it doesn't take much effort so it wont be a big deal i started learning Spanish and other languages in 2017 because i had some annoying moments when knowing Spanish would have been handy this is happening more and more bit its not a problem for me anymore while it was rare in the past i do wish i started even earlier but the early 2010s and 2000s where a busy time for me. and during my childhood technology was too limited no internet and so on .so i don't blame myself for not doing it much earlier because my modern learning style requires the internet and modern technology that didn't exist until 20 years ago. and even in 2010 it was not very accessible when you where not at home or even at home when doing chores or having to take turns using the pc because we only had 1 .
Hey there! May I ask, do you have any advice on choosing a language? I want to learn a language for fun, but I don't know what I would like to learn.
Hello! In that situation, go with what you're drawn to most right now! :) See how it sticks and if it doesn't, there's no harm in switching down the line :)
@@LindsayDowLanguages Thank you 😁😁
