Top 5 Things that Happen when you Learn a New Language
While there are pluses and minuses for everything in life, learning is the only thing that has no disadvantages in my opinion, especially when it is learning a new language.
Below are the top 5 things that happen when you learn a new language.
1- You become familiar with different cultures: You immediately think and act in the culture of the language you’re speaking.
2- You become more tolerant: being exposed to different languages and cultures makes the speaker more tolerant towards them and more accepting and open to diversity.
3- You become a foodie: Admit it. Food is the best thing in the world. You can’t speak a language without falling in love with the culture behind it, especially the food! Spaghetti, anyone?
4- You develop a serious case of wanderlust: When you learn a new language, you get this urge to visit new countries and interact with native speakers.
5- You become a code switcher: It’s inevitable, especially if you are Lebanese. You start using all the languages you speak in the same sentence. Good luck getting your point through without having to explain yourself a zillion times 😛

Learning a new language is always a challenge. Being a professional translator, it is always a tough task for me to imbibe a new language in my mind every year. As discussed here, it makes a learner to explore a new culture, and makes you eager to learn new things always.

They say that best age to learn is childhood. But that doesn’t mean that adults should give up. Always try to think about language-learning as a great experience of gaining something new. Great Blog!!
