  • 00:52

    Yeah, when I was studying for my TEFL certificate, all of those hours that, granted, at the time

  • 00:56

    felt very boring, in French and Spanish learning grammar, and grammar, and grammar, and verbs,

  • 01:01

    and verbs, and verbs...hum. Well they came in very handy in helping me

    Quote number 1: You can never understand one language, until you understand at least two.Geoffrey

  • 01:13

    Willans. Reason number vier: When you learn a language,

  • 01:16

    it's not just about learning words, but about culture and those nitty-gritty intricacies

  • 01:21

    that make the speakers of that language who they are. And that's what makes you smart

  • 01:25

    when you learn a language. Quote number two: Those who know nothing of

  • 01:28

    foreign languages know nothing of their own.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Clearly I don't know

    anything of his own 'cause I can't say his name!

  • 01:37

    Reason number go: Expand your list of potential friends. Roughly 5% of the world speak English

    paid in comparison to monolinguals. Reason number lapan: If I describe you as
