Discover a new culture
Music, movies, food, literature, poetry, theater, fine arts: the list of fabulous things that culture brings to our lives is endless. You might have heard that language and culture are two sides of the same coin: I would tend to agree with this.
Discover-new-culture One of my personal favorites, discovering a new culture is an immensely enriching experience intricately tied to the knowledge of a foreign language. Of course, you can learn a particular geography’s culture without knowing the language, but as one of my readers once remarked, that’s kind of like watching a video of a live show. You get to see the show, understand the plot, etc., but you miss out on the buzz and the real feeling of being in the audience in the theater. You can learn a lot about a culture, but you can’t feel it fully without throwing yourself in, and that begins with the language.
