Why is it Important to Know More than One Language?

in #mindset6 years ago

Hi, dear Steemians!

Technology has brought humanity together, nowadays more than ever with the innovations of the phenomenon known as the world wide web.

Everything changes in time. Politics take new form, schools of thought evolve, and cultures interweave. This is also true about the world of economy.

As we move forward, it is becoming more and more apparent that economy is not a domestic matter anymore and people should begin to see their trade as a universal trend.

In this interconnected and worldwide society that we live in today, why is it important to learn other languages and become fluent in them?

An idea first forms in our head and we reflect that idea as a thought, and then express it using words of a language. A language is the cornerstone of communication in a society.

We use language to talk to others. We use language to express our feelings. We use language to influence others. We use language to trade. We use language to create the foundations of human society.

So, language is inherently important in our lives. Now that the world is compared to a village according to the level of communication with other countries and areas with indigenous population, one can safely say that learning other languages will win you life at large.

We will make our point by explaining two main points about learning another language.

First of all, you should know that learning another language can open new pathways in your brain which will ultimately make you see the world in a different and more expanded light.

The thing is, even our simplest definitions of the world around us and how we comprehend every occurrence is because of our language and the culture of that mother tongue.

When you learn a new language, you will see the world as the people of that language see it. And trust me, every group of people scattered around this globe see the world in a different way.

This is what we know as the Bilingual Mind; people who know two languages and see the world with an expanded definition on everything.

Scientists have also proved that learning another language can greatly enhance your intelligence and your capability to understand new and complex ideas. Your memory is also affected in a positive way by your understanding of a whole different language.

One other important aspect of learning a new language is that you will always be one step ahead of everybody else. A person who understands the ways of another culture and can communicate with them will always have more opportunities in life.

Not even for their individual improvement, knowing another language will turn you into a valuable asset for many companies in your own country, because they might be interested in communicating with other companies overseas and need someone to do that for them.

People who know several languages are often more successful in business, be it a personal startup and enterprise or a senior position in a well-known and respected company.

Learning another language is as artistic as writing a new book or playing a musical instrument. Love the learning process and you will not live to regret it!

To enhance your intelligence or your understanding of the universe, learn other languages and cultures and expand your definition on humanity.

Indeed, learning a new language is one of the most worthwhile endeavors you could take on in your lifetime.

A BIG HUG!

what do you mean by broader?

Learn some greetings in the language before learning the alphabet. Learn the alphabet of the language if necessary: ​​it will be easier for the person to read and pronounce the words at the same time, in addition it would be better to look at the words and knowledge rather than ignorance. Vocabulary: One of the most important things in the language is mastery of the basic vocabulary, even if the person can not understand all the vocabulary in the sentence, but knowledge of some of them will help him to understand the meaning of the general. To learn counting in the new language: first start learning counting for ten, because it is easier to save. Not to focus too much on rules; the main reason most people fail is to learn a new language and focus on grammar instead of speaking it. Not fearing mistakes; the best way to learn is to learn from mistakes.

Learning a new language is not as difficult as most people think, but it may take time and effort.

Increased awareness of the individual, according to a study conducted by the University of Pompeo Fabra Spanish; it was found that people who speak several languages more able to monitor their surroundings, and they have a greater skill in focusing on information related to a subject, and the exclusion of non-related information.

The world is like a small village now because of the Internet and various means of communication. Traveling from one country to another is one of the easiest and simplest things. People start communicating with each other from different countries. To complete this communication is important. Mastery of several languages.

You can communicate to any place in the world, but you can not know any country without knowing the language of the country. Knowing the language spoken by the country you want to travel enables you to know the culture of this country and to meet anyone in this country. , The individual may need to ask directions in the street, or ask for food in the restaurant. In addition, the individual's knowledge of the language in a country enables him to roam the country, learn about the real secrets associated with this country, and know how things go there.

The development of a person's ability to deal with multiple tasks: Many tasks are stressful and difficult to multi-lingual, and for multilingualists are able to slide their tongue and ideas one by one and have a high efficiency in dealing with the problems, thus committing the error is very small when they carry out various activities .

I didn't know learning a new language had such a significant impact on a person's intelligence and comprehension. This article inspired me to learn more languages to expand my mind and meet new people. There is no right time to start learning a language. You just start and do your best to keep moving forward with the utmost grit. Immersion in the language will help reinforce the learning a lot better since you're putting it to practical use.
