“A different language is a different vision of
life.”
-Federico Fellini
Language is a soul of society. It connects and intertwines different
cultures. The official figure of 'mother tongues' spoken in India is
1,683 of which an estimated 850 are in daily use. Now, imagine the number of
languages spoken across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could converse
in a language other than your mother tongue? More often than not, have you
heard that it is not the land that is foreign; but the man! Each of us holds an
ambition inside us to visit different nations of the World. It would make your
trip much easier if you could speak in the language spoken by the people in the
country you visited. Learning a foreign
language not only reveals how other societies think and feel but also what they
have experienced and value. Moreover, how they express themselves, it provides
a cultural mirror in which we can more clearly see our own society. A great man
once said. “You can never understand one language until you understand at least
two.” One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open
every door along the way. Learning another language is not only learning
different words for the same things, but also learning another way to think
about things. You can immerse yourself into a different culture altogether and
see the world through a new pair of eyes. So go ahead, learn a new language, a
new culture and embrace a new perspective to life.
Remember: Language is the road map of a culture.
It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
Happy Learning!
