Hola Senior! Como estas? Muy Bien! Un Gato en mi pantalones!
That’s about all the Spanish I knew. Don’t ask me where I learned the last sentence. I don’t quite remember, but it stuck.
But this isn’t about how I couldn’t speak Spanish. This is about how I can speak Spanish. And how I learned in under 3 months to speak it fluently.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though.
A couple months ago I was presented by my Family with the idea of traveling to Spain. Now, none of us knew Spanish, but we always loved to travel to new places. We figured we’d learn all we needed by picking up a phrase book, and listening to locals speak.
Anyone can learn how to speak basic words in Spanish in a variety of ways. When a person wants to learn this wonderful language they should concentrate for the most part on studying the more basic and easier to learn verbs and phrases. Learning basic Spanish words can enable people to quickly learn the fundamentals of the language. This can make taking holidays a more enjoyable experience. Just a few basic phrases can assist in opening cultural doors in regards to communication with a wider range of people.
Cultural differences in communicating are important for a teacher to understand because cross-cultural communication abounds in early childhood classrooms. Diversity represents the richness and uniqueness of human life. It is something that is valued and shared with children that teachers encounter on a day to day basis.
Multicultural education hopes to prepare children for a diverse society in which different languages and customs abound. Its goals include communicating despite differences, cooperating for multicultural unity, and respecting the values of others.
Culture is defined as all the activities and achievements of a society that individuals within the society pass from one generation to the next.
Of course, I was taught French during my school days but never took it seriously. As far as I was concerned, it wasn’t important to me and never would be.
After all, English was more popular and I could get along anywhere in the world with my knowledge of English language, right?
How dead wrong I was.
Language is the expression or communication of thoughts and feelings by means of vocal sounds, and combinations of such sounds, to which meaning is attributed to human speech (Webster’s Dictionary 1999). Language is significantly made up of culture, success, and free will.
Language can embark upon the hidden talents of what all great writers have today: clarity, conciseness, and communication.
Many people are deprived of things such as attention, the forgiveness of another person, and the ability to speak a language fluently. What several people forget is that certain experiences can lead to a deprived language outcome. To have been deprived of language, is like walking blind folded to hit a pinata. The target is there but one is not sure where it is located.
