“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
Nelson Mandela
 

I get so much enjoyment from studying languages. They give you the ability to discover other cultures and interact with a diversity of people. Languages also make current events easier to understand, connections can be made everywhere.
