Hey, I speak a language!
This is about languages and her name is anna Babel? Amazing…thats like the chimney sweeper named ash.
That was a good talk!
Language is tools. Helping people to contact and communicate that what led them to develop languages
winner is the have capability to learn most languages. pronunciation of a word or a single letter is most important! Õ Ä Ö Ü BRrr! 🙂 you dont have to speak but you have to UNDERSTAND.
We have to encourage people to learn more than 2 languages from western and eastern in schools, especially there is very rich language like Arabic .it is the most richest language in this planet
I hope one day we can create languages club inside all schools. We can give opportunity to our next generation to learn languages in beautiful way and respectful.
I think that the question “who counts as a speaker of a language” may sound kind of intimidating to non native speaker of a language. My first thought when i read the Title of this video was: a speaker of a language is someone who is able to Express himself and understand others in the language. For me as a highschool student and a non native english speaker the question sounds quite a bit intimidating and IF someone asked me IF i consider myself an english speaker i would say no but IF someone asked me a question: “do you speak english?” i (probably) would have said that i speak english. But does it make me an english speaker?
Aren’t we gonna address how oddly gorgeous her hair looks?
Do you speak the language? Congratulations, you are a speaker of the language
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk!

Is being Asian a social category?
