WHY LEARN A LANGUAGE?

I haven't conquered Spanish yet. I'm learning and

understand what's said during training. I'm progressing little

by little. Spanish is very difficult for me, although I am getting

used to it. I am making an effort. It's complicated. But if I

can conquer Spanish, it will have been a great

achievement.

All I can advise, is that you keep working at your languages.

Foreign languages are exciting and interesting - keep up the

hard work, it will be worth it in the end.

I think the least you can do when you live in their country is

learn the language.

My wife and I learnt Spanish and Japanese when I played at Barcelona and Nagoya. We spent hours and hours in tuition – yet we could have learnt either language at school. Modern languages prepare you for modern life.As the world gets smaller, there’s never been a better opportunity to get into languages.I've really enjoyed learning Spanish and Japanese. Getting to grips with a new language can be great fun, and you learn so much about other people and what makes them tick.Immersing yourself in the culture is critical to making it work abroad.
