#foreignlanguage

Hellohen,

Lets bring you some pag-ibig.

Okay tara lets do this. When you hit the grounds of the Philippines for the first time or your visiting occasionally and you want to speak Taglish (Tagalog and English) mixed or just the basics of Tagalog. Here are the basics of Tagalog to help you all out.

I gave you some examples for to speak Tagalog, they enjoy that foreigners try to speak their language, so don’t worry with English you can do it perfectly as well there. But one warning some words in Tagalog has another meaning in a language when you travel through the Philippines. Yes it’s not a dialect what they speak, but a language.

Not just your average chair...

Another infographic finished, phew! 

Take note that almost all the fruits are in Katakana, except peach, and pear which are in Kanji, and grape which is in Hiragana. This is quite confusing actually, because most of the fruits can use the Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji forms interchangeably depending on the context.

Also, I’ve made a penpalling account on Instagram! If you’re interested, I would be very happy if you showed it some love... @penpalart.soph. (*´∇｀*)

Languages are and will always be a part of our life. Even during the stone age , humans didn't have a language to communicate but they sure did know how to express their views, opinions and emotions. Which is ultimately the main purpose of all the languages.

Currently I know 2 languages apart from English . But one thing that always intrigued me was to learn a foreign language, not just as a hobby but also because learning a new language has a lot of benefits.

So after a research, I got to know that Spanish is not only widely spoken across the world, but is comparatively an easy language to learn. So I decided to start learning SPANISH.

Why should you learn a new language?

1. Boosts Brain Power

2. Improves Memory

3. Enhances The Ability To Multi-Task

4. Sharpens The Mind

5. Keeps The Mind Sharper For Longer

6. Enhances Decision-Making

7. The First Language Is Improved

8. Improves Performance In Other Academic Areas

Let's talk about my experience and problems I faced

Where to start :

There are a ton of YouTube videos but it lacks organization and it was too overwhelming for me.

So I asked people on the internet and got to know about Doulingo app where you can learn tons of languages for free.

I downloaded the app and started learning Spanish

Learning the language

Initially it was difficult to grasp and learn and this made me procrastinate a lot. I could hardly complete 10 lessons a month.

Finally , I decided to be serious about it and start small with one lesson everyday.

That's when I got into the habit of learning. For 15-20 days,I just completed one lesson a day and after that I was not only interested in doing more, but used to eagerly wait to learn.

This went on for 30-45 days and I even completed my very first streak of 30days😭.

Loosing interest

After 45 days..I got bored and I lost interest. Doing the same thing everyday didn't work for me and I needed much more stimulus.

Currently I am still searching for other platforms to learn and if you have suggestions do let me know!

If you have any further suggestions , do let me know in Comments and also how many languages do you know?
