Foreign Language can be used in any occasion such as parties, gathering so on and so forth. Using the language that we usually apply everyday is not so awful by talking to other citizens, but the effective way is to use the foreign language. Everyone knew how important a foreign language is, especially the English dialect. Apparently English language is an international dialect that mostly community usually used by communicating to foreign citizens. One thing to learn English rapidly is to clear your mine and focus on the subject well, to grasp the correct way of using English. Although it’s hard to study foreign language but having a strong interest to learn, you will be able to know it quickly, without knowing that you use it properly. By the time you encounter English people you can easily talk to them using the international language. It seems that English is a common language that community is frequently using. But sad to say that, there are still people who don’t have a chance to learn the international language we have.
I can’t imagine myself by knowing nothing about English language, since this language is our international dialect. And through exploring myself by talking to any foreign people, I am now able to speak English slightly. But it seems that I did not use the language well, so I encouraged myself to go in universities to learn English and to enhance my capability to speak it well. I know that learning English is not so very simple, but I do have an interest to learn it. If ever that I can manage myself, to speak English language well then I will surely use it through communicating to foreign people. Currently today, English especially in making foreign friends can help us a lot. To have friends by communication can be often heard through internet. Internet is one of the tools currently use to have foreign friends through chatting. Mostly, people who love to chat are currently using English language through communicating the other people across the country.
Chatting is not the only way to learn English language, but at the same time in researching any language that are exciting to use. Through internet you can find any languages that you think it suits you. As we know that, internet has a big help for us by learning anything through research and chatting across the country. We can even talk to our families that are already in the foreign country. They can be able to send us emails, or something that makes us happy. Now and then foreign language will encouraged all to learn, especially the international language we used. Generation to generation, English dialect still be present, to be able that the world become one. To learn languages like English, can be a very important for us, so that we were not behind to any foreign country. We must be very thankful that someone is willing to educate us the foreign language. But most importantly chatting can collect friends through communicating using English language. And because of these international friends you are speaking English with, you also learn a little of some other foreign languages. I met a Swedish guy on a language trip, ‘språkresor’, and because of him I speak basic Swedish.
IF you are a high school student here in Spain, chances are you must have an English subject. The European Union has long instituted to make second language acquisition a must in all high schools all over the continent. And English is extremely popular here in the country because it is the only way to be competitive. After all, there are lots of British tourists roaming around the country and it will not help you deal with them if you only know how to speak Spanish. Aside from the English studies that you have acquired in school, there are lots of benefits if you both watch English programming on television and browse the Internet.
And the Internet, do not just browse the web. There are lots of ways to loiter around the Internet. You can have a video conference with someone from the other side of the globe. You can watch streaming videos. Even playing in such games as Rainbow Six, Resident Evil or Counterstrike can already complement what formal English lessons you are taught in school. You can do these on weekends or the whole summer and holiday season long. If you’re bored at home, you can even watch movies at your local IMAX moviehouse.
The one currently playing which I certainly recommend you to watch is Eastern Promises. Because of heavy male nudity scenes, the movie is for moviegoers 18 years old and above only so make sure you have already celebrated your debut before you get in. For many Spanish girls who are turning 18 this February, make this as your gift to yourself. This film has already been released in Spain last September but because star Viggo Mortensen has been nominated for a best actor Oscar for his poignant role in the movie, it is currently enjoying a rerun all over the country. And I definitely recommend it for Spanish girls who have just turned 18 because Viggo is nude here in a three-minute fight scene. Think of it as your coming-of-age gift. Aside from enjoying the movie, you can also enjoy listening to the English dialogue and learn something. And I also want to recommend that you watch the movie in a cinema with no subtitles at all so you really can make out the conversations yourself without visual assistance. That is if you really want to learn English that bad.
Aside from Viggo, another awesome star in a movie that I like is Naomi Watts. Even now that she’s turning 40, Naomi is still lovely and would still pass as a 27-year-old hottie. The English conversations in all her movies are also worth renting and watching again and again at home especially if you pause and rewind them all over if you really are interested to maximize learning English. Her first movie that I like is The Ring. Although it is a remake of a Japanese original, the Hollywood version has perfect English pitch.
THIS year, how about learning a foreign language as a hobby. Consider this – you are a fresh high school graduate from Salamanca and you have just been successfully enrolled in a hotel school in Switzerland. As everybody knows, the hotel schools in Switzerland are the most reputable in the world. One of the things that you will ultimately learn is to acquire several languages. You can call yourself a linguist if you have graduated with a bachelor’s degree in a Swiss hotel school.
Even though you come from Spain, you will not just be exposed to European languages but you will be taught various languages in the world because you may be employed to a resort that is located in Tahiti or Phuket. There are definitely differences in culture in those places that I have mentioned. But expect the Swiss hotel school to teach you first the dialects in your own country. Thus you may encounter studying Basque in Bern. That is not so far-fetched though as Swiss hotel schools are equipped with the most competent linguists in the world. That definitely is not an exaggeration. It’s simply the truth.
If you are from Salamanca, the tourists in your home country of Spain usually consist of people from England, Portugal, Germany, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Thus, these are the languages that you are at least familiar to learn. Aside from English and Portuguese, these other languages are called Scandinavian languages which all have origins in the German language.
Another way to learn other languages while at the same time having fun is getting a degree in international relations at the Universidad de Madrid. Once you have an advanced grasp of the French language, you may be awarded a slot in the foreign student exchange program and you can experience a very fruitful and meaningful visit to Paris for one semester. You will not only bask in the limelight at the City of Lights, there will also be spiritually refreshing visits to such sites as the Our Lady of Miraculous Medal near the outskirts of Paris.
Or if you want your specialization to be English, then you may go to London someday and ride the London Eye or marvel at the amazing architectural style of London City Hall which is neither Gothic nor medieval but simply futuristic. You may even enjoy a concert with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus at Hyde Park or watch the IMAX version of the heart-wrenching (figuratively of course) movie Atonement. Or if what you are learning is the rhotic form of English, then you may get to be involved in another foreign student exchange program but this time in Georgetown University in Washington, DC. You will get to have a tour at the White House or at Foggy Bottom where the State Department holds its offices. See? There are indeed tons of opportunities if only you learn a second language at the right time.
