Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?
I write and speak English but I have an affinity for learning other languages. I realized this when I took Latin for the first time high school. Learning other languages helped me see the nuances and relationships between the different elements of the English language.
English can be imprecise at times. However, you can express yourself clearly if you are open to becoming a wordsmith.
Also, I’m taking several Duolingo courses excluding chess. Ive been doing Spanish and Russian for a while. (About 10 or so years ago I actually finished the Spanish course and became disinterested in Duolingo for several years.) Recently, I started the Chinese course.
As an aside, I’ve become impressed with the quality of product that Duolingo has produced over the past few years, including chess. It has replaced my old chess trainer app (that I paid for).
Languages are the currency of expression. Thankfully it has helped me to become more clear in my thinking. And as much I tend to bottle things in it helps to have some sort of precision of thought.
