Bonus Benefit: You Don’t Have to be Defined by Your Past
One other benefit: in my experience, learning a language can help set you free from your past. When I was at school, I was very poor at languages. During my formative years I had the opportunity to take French, German and Welsh. I was a poor linguist – possibly because I really didn’t see the point. One Welsh teacher called me a “dozy dormouse”, and I was constantly in trouble with the French Mistress for failing vocab tests. I learned to dislike languages, and dropped French and Welsh as soon as I could. I was hardly more successful with German, but didn’t drop it straight away because it got me out of doing sports, and I was even worse at sports than I was at languages. And as my German earned me an “unclassified” grade at ‘O’ Level, I was pretty much persuaded that I was simply no good at languages.
Fortunately, however, I choose not to define myself by my past. Just because I couldn’t cope with learning a language when I was at school doesn’t mean that I can’t cope with them now now. So, with that in mind, I’ve started a language course. I’m only about 10% of the way through, and I’m finding it tough. But I’m also finding it enjoyable. Moreover, I’ve discovered that learning a languageisn’t beyond me, which comes as a pleasant surprise.
That's all from me,thank you.
