 How important learning a second language

We maybe thinking of the reasons why recently the number of students learning a second language arises from its previous number? How important learning the second language why it seems that not only one particular country rushed to learn a second language but there are many. Well then, learning for a second language aside from your native one is very important nowadays. Since the world evolved, we can never thwart individual to change as well as the things that surrounds us. Before, learning a second language does not matter; the people think that they can survive their life with their own language itself. Until the days, months and years came and everything just transformed. Every country has its own invaders from its past history and the familiarities of another language emerge.

And because of that phenomena, the importance of learning a second language reign. The second language could help not only an individual but it can help one country to progress. If a person knows one particular language he/she can help ones economy to arise, since for example. If the president of one of the particular country knew how to speak another language particularly English, negotiating with the other country using the Universal language could be a good points to have the possibilities that his/her country would progress, since the country he/she is asking with could help his/her country with regards to any problems. And if a student knew a second language, he/she will never be left behind with so many opportunities that come her/his way.

To some other, they think that learning for a second language is just a waste of time. They never think that learning for a second language means opening a bunch of opportunities in life. No questions why, nowadays every universities in almost all the countries included one or two second language as part of their subjects. The universities believe that the students they are helping to learn for another language could be the ones who could help in the progressiveness of their country. Another thing to remember about learning a second language since it can bring one country to unity. Since even with the neighboring countries the fact that they speak different language; being familiar with a second language mostly the universal language which is English, the chaos between two countries will run smoothly. There could never have prosperity in every country if there is no understanding with regards to language matters.

Now, even the most prominent personalities all over the world enrolled themselves with the second language. Even those persons who’s age lapses from the calendar. Anyways, studying not only for a second language; age doesn’t matter. As long as you are eager to learn, you can easily learn anytime you want. Learning an unfamiliar vernacular is quite hard at first but eventually upon your journey of learning it, you will learn to appreciate it and you will love speaking with it even in your daily speaking dialect. Don’t waste time, enroll yourself in a second language and appreciate every opportunity that comes your way.

 Admiring a Foreign Language

Admiring a Foreign Language

CHILDREN growing up in a multi-culture are lucky. They grow up in an environment where other persons tend not to look like them and speak like them and they have learned to accept it. But it is so awkward if for instance a New Yorker couple with their 14-year-old daughter has left the Big Apple behind and settled in Nagono. It will surely be awkward for the poor girl who has to endure wearing those strange slut-looking short skirts to school and conversing with peers who speak halting English. But with proper orientation, one can eventually embrace the language in the new environment.

There are countless other examples that need to be told. And admiring a foreign language is not just for a child. It is also for people who are forever curious of other humans around him. This is where the science of sociology comes in. Even in this highly technological world of Internet and iPhones that we live in, sociology has never been an obscure field of study because human interaction keeps evolving. And on that parallel level is the acquisition of other languages too. For centuries, man has never appreciated communicating with other animals on the level of communicating with fellow humans. But the hang of it is that there are different languages spoken by man. Forget about the Babel explanation because there is no such thing. Human tongue has been divided not because of some divine strike but because we are born in different continents.

There are contiguous continents like Europe where even neighboring countries speak different languages. This is the result of lots of factors – the shifting of movement of nomadic civilizations of old, the conquest of far superior tribes (think of the Romans) who may have influenced or forced their language into their colonies (think of Spain or France). That is why, the Europe of today is composed of such contiguous countries as Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal who may have one thing in common – the Alps mountain range – but peopled with a diverse population as far as language is concerned.

Even in Spain, there are numerous dialects spoken – there’s Castilian, Basque, Catalan, etc. Spain’s peculiar character doesn’t end there. Even in its colonies like the Philippines, there are lots of vernaculars. There’s Chavacano, Tagalog, Cebuano and Maranao. It is within this reason that the European Union has created a mandate some decades ago mandating that each European sophomore high school student learn another continental language in one academic semester which is equivalent to six calendar months of course. That may be taxing but Western Europe is a progressive continent. And in a developed country, one needs to be competitive. One needs to know another European language so the country’s economy would not be left behind.

If Japan can do it, so can the Europeans. The Japanese have known to be nationalistic and are even harsh enemies of the West during World War II. But after the war, they have adopted the English language and have even invaded American business so to speak. That is the advantage of learning a second language. It spawns prosperity.
