Learning Languages

 I am studying English now, but if I had the chance to study another language I would choose Spanish because of several reasons.
Charles the Fifth, the King of Spain, said: “I speak Spanish with God, Italian – with women, French – with men, German – with my horse”.
I would like to learn Spanish, not for talking with God, but for other purposes. Now, I will tell you why.
First of all, this language is very popular. Many countries that used to be Spanish colonies now speak Spanish. And, I would like to visit many of these countries, such as: Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Peru. Most of these countries are located in South America. I am very interested in the cultures and natural attractions of this continent. For example, such attractions as the Atacama desert, the ghost town of the Incas, Machu Picchu, and Iguazu Falls. It will be difficult to only communicate in English while travelling there.
Secondly, I want to read Spanish literature in its original language. Immediately coming to mind are Hispanic writers: Gabriel Garcia Marguez, Jorge Luis Borges. I have read  Marguez' book “One Hundred Years of Solitude” in Russian and I would like to read it in the original language.

My last reading

I have found a new book to read 'A short history of nearly everything'. The author's name is Bill Bryson. I think that the book is very interesting because it has a big amount of metaphors that pictures the wonderful things of the universe. I could not believe it when I read that if Jupiter was the size of a dot Pluto would still be 30 miles away from it.

So firstly, 'affect' is a verb: 'to affect' and is different from 'effect', a noun, so when we see 'effect' it is the 'impact' on something. Let's use an example: "What are the effects of drink driving? Driving concentration has been affected as well as reaction time" I just used the third word in your list which is used for two meanings : like above for effect and also a physical impact, when an aeroplane( airplane in US spelling) hits the ground it makes an impact. Finally, influence is a verb and a noun, we use this term in a more metaphorical (from metaphor implying something different, non-literal) or cultural sense. An example of this is "people in the Renaissance were influenced by ideas of the ancient Greek and Roman thinkers and artists".

I'm a lover of languages. I'm interested in studying Bajan creole, Kiswahili, and Yoruba. So, If you speak any of these languages, please contact me.
