RE: The Importance of Learning a New Language When You Travel
Couldn't agree more. I speak Hebrew, English, Spanish and Russian and it definitely helped me when I traveled to Center America and Eastern Europe (most of the languages there are really similar to Russian).
I'm learning Italian and in the future I would like to learn some Chinese
Wow, you are so smart! I tried learning Russian when I was in Russia, maybe I should continue learning again.
I don't think that smart is the right word, it's just the circumstances of life. My mother's native language is Russian and my father's is Spanish, so I learned it from the moment I was born. Hebrew I learned because I grew up in Israel. English I learned in school (in Israel learn English from 2nd grade up until you finish high school) and from TV. So I never learned a new language completely by myself .
And yeah, Russian is kinda hard especially because they have different letters. Are you familiar with the app Duolingo? It's great for learning languages
Yes I have that app, I kind of stopped using for a while now. As I am just writing and reading most of the time these days.
Anyway, you are still smart for me. 😊 I really admire those people who can speak more than 3 languages. You are lucky to have a diverse background. Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha thanks :)
