BROKEN LANGUAGES

When we learn an alternative language we equip ourselves with the right tool to remove the barriers that keep us in the dark when trying to understand what someone is trying to say to us in their learned language. Sometimes our lack of knowledge in someone else tongue puts us in a pitfall of thinking where we believe our chosen mastered language should be the prominent language because it is known by the majority of people in the country that we reside in, but if you only have the power of your own learned language at your disposal then you are missing out on the beauty of language and all that comes with it. Their are more than 7100 languages spoken in the world today what makes you think your chosen language should be the only one that makes sense?. You could make so much more sense out of the world if you stopped thinking that your language is the only one that's important. Language is a beautiful tool that helps us understand what we as people are trying to communicate to one another, it is in our own weakness of misinterpretation that fails to understand what makes sense for us in our learned vocabulary does not make sense for those who speak a different language. Just because you might have the right word to express yourself in your own language their might not even be a word to match in the alternative vocabulary. So appreciate what you know but also be aware that the more languages you can experience the more understanding you would have of the unknown.
