¡Hola! Hello! Salut! Hallo!

Yes, je parle francés auch.

You know what people say about other people that speak several languages? That every language is a new soul, a new you. And they are not mistaken at all! The truth is, languages are kind of like my passion, and I say kind of because my favorite language is French, but to be honest, I only know 4: Spanish, English, French, and a little German. And I can tell you that I love the way French sounds, the way it is pronounced and how it feels when it is spoken. It feels very different from German, which sounds rough. Or English, that it even feels natural as well as Spanish, and they are very different.

Anyway, when we learn languages, we discover certain things about ourselves, and we also develop many skills, like patience! We acquire a new personality, we explore new cultures, and as people say, we obtain new souls.

It is amazing how human beings developed a system of codes and their meanings in order for them to communicate, and how it has been changing over time. Just think about it. Then we try to learn it and we manage somehow to understand the language so we can speak it… Simply fascinating.

These are the reasons why I encourage you to learn a new language. I know that as our age increases, it becomes harder. But hey, in this modern society, who wants to speak only one language?!
