languages


Since i was little i had english lessons in school, and i enjoy them, because for me, in some way, it was exciting to have the possibility to express myself with new words and pronunciation. It was like a game where i could be another person, from another country. 

With the time english was the language from the movies or music that i listened to, so in that time, i learned a lot, looking the lyrics in internet, or just listening every time i watched a movie. 

But in some point, i think stop learning. I dont know why, maybe because since i left school i dont practice anymore. But my english with the time it s not getting any better, in fact, its getting really poor. 

In that way i think its very interesting what the speaker told today about Mapudungun. Because when nobody talks your language, not at school, not in the street, not when you go to buy some bread, it s very difficult to hold on to it.

Our mind, that it s very brilliant for some things, it also forgets more quickly then we think... So when we talk about languages, the first thing we should realize, is that we need each other.

  1. Wow, I believe that every language is valuable because it shows an especial and unique way of representing reality. Mapudungun is very hard to understand from outside, very different from any other language so its really sad that its disappearing slowly through the years.
