THE POWER OF LANGUAGUE

Language is something vital and especially important in our lives because we use it almost all the time, and in different aspects, it helps us to transmit feelings, share ideas, there are also different ways to communicate, not only talking, because there is body language and sign language. Next, we will talk about the importance of language in different aspects.

 

TRAVELING

The use of language when we travel is crucial, whether we travel outside the country or in the same country, when we travel within our country maybe it is easier to communicate because we have knowledge of some cultures present, also the fact that we speak the same language, what makes the difference there are the accents. When we travel outside our country to another country that speaks our language, it is also easy to communicate, however, it changes a lot the sense of the words and their meaning, finally, when we travel to another country and another language is spoken, it is a little more difficult to communicate, we must take into account that around the world there are many cultures, totally different, there are things that for us is normal, but in other cultures is bad manners, before traveling we have to inform ourselves a little about the culture of the place we will visit.

 

BUSINESS

For a tourist, online shopper, or elderly adult, it is enough to know their mother tongue and a bit of a second language, but for business it is important to master several languages.

Currently, most of the important business is carried out with foreign persons representing the companies. In some cases, people do not speak the same language and when that happens it is necessary to use a neutral language that is handled by both parties. Therefore, it is very important to know and handle English correctly to take advantage of business opportunities and achieve objectives. Knowing and managing different languages allows you to reach more people and cover more business possibilities, taking a notable advantage over those who speak 1 or 2 languages only.

FRIENDSHIP

As it is well known, language and its development start from the moment we come into contact with our environment and the relationships we develop with those around us, that is why it is considered necessary to refer to it from the perspective of childhood in order to obtain a better context.

How do children use their play conversations to build and conduct friendships? Language plays a key role as children initiate and maintain friendships at the same time as they represent and explore the physical world and create imaginary scenarios in play. Play conversations reveal information about the way the children negotiate their relationships with peers. Much research has already shown how young children appropriate power and resist control through talk in their peer relationships, but less is known about how friendships are initiated and nurtured by talk in the context of play. Children’s naturally occurring conversations during free play in preschool or early school environments were studied to reveal how children created their cultural worlds: how they explored, adopted, and resisted various aspects of power and control in their lives and how they used language to gain power and control in peer interactions.

 

Working

The language is very important for the correct development in the working environment because English is the language most used and requested in the working world and is the way of communicating most used for international business. English is also the official or co-official language in 57 countries of the world; it means that more than 2 thousand million people use English in the daily habits. It is highlighted that is the second most learned language on the planet due to the importance and status it provides. Having in count this information, you should know that learning the language could give you more opportunities for having access to a job with fair conditions; it helps you to boost your professional career and position yourself better in the business world. At this moment, the internet is the most widely used means of communication in the workplace and requires an intermediate knowledge of English to take advantage of the full potential offered by the network; meaning that you can be limited if you do not dominate the language in order to find a better job or show to the world your business.

STUDIES

The importance of English in education is that it can almost automatically open the world and knowledge to the person, since English being an international language much new or old information is written in this, so you have new and almost thousands of ways to learn, research, hypotheses and others, almost at hand, in addition, there are the interests of each person, nobody is born learned and why encapsulate in only one way of learning that may well serve to some people but not to one and being able to know English there are hundreds of ways in which you can understand and even improve, and not only in teaching, if not also in the values of each one, helping him not to close in what is close to him, if not, opening horizons in their way of being and thinking.
