J’adore les langues!
J’adore les langues, ils sont très important en notre monde. Je voudrais être fluent en francais, allemand, espagnol, italien, japonais, chinois, arabique, gaelique, and portugeuse. Et plus je ne peux pas pense de maintenant.
Today our world is so interconnected because of technology that it is even more important to know foreign languages. Although I am only in my third year of taking French, I am happy that I can communicate with French speaking people in the blogosphere. From blogging I am also alerted to the fact that there are so many wonderful languages just waiting for me to learn them, whenever I find a class blog in a different language I always wish that I could understand it, and that is something that will motivate me to learn more foreign languages. Imagine how simple communication would be if you could speak a foreign language. And how many opportunities would be available.
Around the beginning of December I entered a podcast contest about the importance of learning foreign languages, hosted by the American Council of Teaching Foreign Languages. I made a podcast for the contest, but unfortunately mine was not chosen as one of the finalists. Even though it did not amount to anything it was still fun to do. On the other hand one of my friends, Adrian, made a podcast rap about foreign languages with her friend Peggy. They have actually been chosen as finalists and can be voted for on the website. I already quickly made an account and voted for them. This link brings you to the contest/ voting page and this link brings you directly to their video. And the best part is, THEY WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a coincidence that the podcast contest was brought up in French class shortly after I conceived the idea for this post, specially written to go on Ms. Water’s blog. I think that just goes to show how important foreign languages are becoming in our world.
p.s. When I mentioned in French, the languages in which I would like to be fluent, those are not all. There are many other languages that I would also like to learn (I simply do not know how to say them yet in French…).
