TED talks: 4 reasons to learn a new language
English is the language of internet, the language of finance, the language of earth traffic and the language of music. So English is everywhere. English is becoming universal language, and translation technology is improving every year.
At the end of century 100 will be spoken than 600 today.
So, why should we learn foreign langage? John McWhorter shares the benefits of learning another language.
- vocabulary and grammar are a kind of acid trip.
In French and Spanish table is “la table” or “una mesa”. it’s marked feminine. So we have to imagine a woman speaking.
You have a worldview of you speak a foreign languge
What is the worldview from English?
John McWhother takes Bono, Donald Trump, K Kardashian to show that common points of English native people, are a highly fraught concept. This can’t change always the vision of the world.
- By learning a foreign language we imbibe a culture. Language are the channels of culture. Foreign language is a ticket to being able to participate in the culture of people who speak them.
- If you speaking two languages, you are a better multitasker. Bilinguism is healthy
- Learn a new languag is awful lof of fun. For example, learning how speak with different word orders is like driving on the different side of a street if you go to certain country.
We live in an era when it’s never been easier to teach yourself another language. In the old way we learn foreign language in classroom with teacher and record, cassette or cd and with books. But now we learn it thanks to internet with site at any time and everywhere and also by phone.
I agree with him because now there are application to learn language and I have one who ask you question of vocabulary and that improve my English Vocabulary. Moreover, we can watch series and movies in English and we can travel easier than before. So speak 2 languages is important trade and business and easier than before
