- Dreams are an interesting topic to talk about. As far as I know everyone in the world has dreams. The dream world is definitely a very interesting phenomenon which I would actually love to study one day. I’m interested in questions like why do we dream? What do our dreams mean? Can the human brain survive long term without dreaming? And many other questions. No matter how basic my dreams can seem I always make sure to look for details. The dream that was unforgettable to me is actually a funny dream because I dreamt that I was found in an unknown area wearing my birthday suit 😂 till this day I don’t understand what that dream meant rather I just laugh because I find it rather unusual 😂September 1, 202225
- Personally what I would want to be made aware of is the top 10 languages that will be in high demand in the future. This information would motivate me to keep investing in my language learning journey. I wouldn’t want to spend money learning a language that will not be in demand in the near future so it will be very motivating to me to know if the languages that I choose to learn will also still be in demand in the future. I love to learn for a purpose.August 24, 2022911
- My little ones and I enjoy language learning because Learning another language also provides many other benefits including greater academic achievement, greater cognitive development, and more positive attitudes towards other languages and cultures. Simply put, language learning is necessary for students to effectively function in the modern global marketplace. My two beautiful daughters have also started learning a foreign language and they both perform exceptionally well at school. Foreign language study is all about learning how to truly communicate and connect with others. It is an incredibly important life skill that can only be cultivated by interacting with people. When you master a foreign language, you can exercise your new superhuman power of being able to understand what someone is saying, recall the proper vocab and grammar, put that vocab and grammar into the proper context, and reply back—all on the spot and in a timely manner. You’ve connected. And that is what it’s all about. I’m very happy to have shared my experience with my Italki family.August 15, 202205
- I’m so excited to share with you all my story of where I see myself in 5years. In 5 years time, I see myself having travelled to at least two countries which I absolutely adore. Those two countries are China and Italy. It would mean so much to me to accomplish those goals. In addition to that, I also see myself being fluent in Chinese and being able to hold a Chinese conversation and make foreign friends as well. I want to discover and explore the variety of cultures in the world. One of my short term goals is to also attend a cultural festival that is totally different from my own culture. I aim to see the world from different perspectives.August 13, 202207
- It’s never too early to begin learning a language: it’s fun, it promotes healthy development, and there are plenty of cognitive and social benefits which will last a lifetime. Learning a second language at a young age puts one in a much more better place in terms of having more advantages. In my opinion I believe that Children who learn another language before an age of five use the same part of the brain to acquire that second language that they use to learn their mother tongue. Younger learners are also not influenced by the fear of making mistakes, which is sometimes an obstacle for older beginners. When one is still in early age, it is most likely that there will be no fear of making mistakes which makes it much more easier and fun to learn. A lot of Research shows that learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask. What this means to me is that Children that start learning second languages end up showing signs of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility. This is a big advantage for the youngsters because the cognitive benefits of learning a language have a direct impact on a child’s academic achievement. Compared to those without an additional language, bilingual children have improved reading, writing, and math skills, and they generally score higher on standardized tests. That is my opinion and what I believe to be true so don’t hesitate to allow your kids to start learning a second language at a young age.August 4, 2022124
- Learning a new language is a big investment. It requires time, commitment and a great deal of patience. However, learning multiple languages is an investment that pays off. Knowing more than one language enhances worldview and perception. This is why I persist in learning different languages. So far I am working on my Spanish and Italian. After I complete this two languages I wish to learn French and Chinese. How is overcome the daily struggles of language learning is by using a special technique that helps me visualize language as a largely skill-building process, the key is daily improvement and persistence. I always make sure to learn a few new words and reinforce my previous learning and this has helped me grow my knowledge and ability each and every day in foreign languages. Learn smart. Be persistant. Learn everyday. Never give up!July 21, 202205
- When you’re at the plateau, you have to convince yourself that what you’re doing is worth it. You’ve got to be sure you know why you’re doing it, and remember it’s very worthwhile. Today I am more excited about learning about new cultures, new languages, and it gives me so much reward which I didn’t have at the beginning when I hadn’t yet really started my intense study of languages. But importantly, do things you enjoy doing, stay the course, and you will eventually get through the plateau. I always mix up my methods, focusing on immersion and making the language fun again. Another technique I use is to practice with a native speaker to iron out any consistent errors. Lastly, remember that everyone learning a language from the most experienced linguists alive to the least experienced, we all reach a point where we have encountered the language learning plateau. Many lose their motivation along the way, but it’s up to you to beat it. Good luck on your journey!July 14, 202203
