Studying
foreign languages is very wise. With English you get along in many parts of the
world. But to understand better or in its entirety what happens around you, you
need for that cultural empathy and the language of the country. What language you should study depends on
your personal motivation and needs, may be every day needs or the
professional ones. But there must be a motivation. If not so, you will learn
very little.
The languages of my life are no doubt German
and Spanish, and I do not say “no” to Russian and Japanese either. But up to German and Spanish of
these languages, when speaking of Russian and Japanese, I manage to speak only so
called “Word-Russian” and “ Word-Japanese”. In German and Spanish I like the intonation of
these 2 languages as Finnish has no intonation. The foreigners say it is “a
tiki-taka –language”. This expression sympathetic too…no doubt. Russian is a
very smooth language, “muy suave” and Japanese is a very expressive language
and for Finns very easy to pronounce. I hope the Japanese people do not become
angry if I say that for example when Japanese are angry I like to hear the
sound of the Japanese words…Very convincing, the angriness of the Japanese
people.
But anyway
- what is interesting. If you compare
the languages above to each other, these languages and cultures are very
different. So my life is never boring, though some day may be more
enjoyable than the other day…
Thanks(ENG)-Danke(DE)-Gracias(ES)-Spasibo(RU)–Arigato(JP)
to all of you!
