WHY LEARN A LANGUAGE?
26
I haven't conquered Spanish yet. I'm learning and
understand what's said during training. I'm
progressing little by little. Spanish is very
difficult for me, although I am getting used to
it. I am making an effort. It's complicated. But
if I can conquer Spanish, it will have been a
great achievement.
27
All I can advise, is that you keep working at
your languages. Foreign languages are exciting
and interesting - keep up the hard work, it will
be worth it in the end.
28
I think the least you can do when you live in
their country is learn the language.
29
My wife and I learnt Spanish and Japanese when I
played at Barcelona and Nagoya. We spent hours
and hours in tuition yet we could have learnt
either language at school. Modern languages
prepare you for modern life. As the world gets
smaller, theres never been a better opportunity
to get into languages. I've really enjoyed
learning Spanish and Japanese. Getting to grips
with a new language can be great fun, and you
learn so much about other people and what makes
them tick. Immersing yourself in the culture is
critical to making it work abroad.
