Today I learnt something important watching those videos. This is my opinion
about what I could perceive. Sometimes we are worried about how to learn different languages when we have to think how well we are speaking our own language or if we use the correct words to express our ideas. That’s my case, because I have never been a good speaker and worst in front of a public, but I have been acquiring this skill by practicing with myself. Sometimes I think in Spanish, but even in Spanish I cannot transmit what I want to say. This is something that I will be improving little by little, Practicing Spanish and English, because it could be weird that I learn to control a second language perfectly, but I will continue having problem with my native language. It is Important to know about history and how a language was created. Something that call my attentions was the way in which languages were created, because I had already heard something about the history of the tower how the differences in languages were created. I knew it was a scold sent for God. There was only one single language for the complete world, it could be better, because if everybody speaks the same language there would not exist boarders. It is interesting the similarities that some languages have, and how to identify those characteristics. It is simple to think that it is easy, but languages have a level of difficulties, that we can break those difficulties by practicing in, and we do not know the part in which we are having problems. While I was watching the videos related with chocolates I started thinking about how we drink those beverages and even we do not know how people do to get the raw material that is cacao and how people suffered to get that material. I think that we have to read more, about the history, because when we have a question related to general culture we are going to be prepare for everything, and do not to keep silence at that time, and show that the best way to learn is reading.
