Language Schools Directory

For beginning, you are lucky to do this question to you. The majority of people have sublimated so much that they finally end for associating “to learn languages” with “to learn English”.

To the practical point of view, it is not necessary doubt that the English language is mediátically necessary to be able to extend a little more our horizons. To the obligatory readings for the studies up from the readings we do for pleasure or for writting a CV, the music that we hear, the movies that we see. We have to admit it, English is all around. And it is necessary to accept that though Paris Hilton speaks English (not the best) many good ideas are in preparation in this language.

But, we must know that it is not the unique important language. For example, it is not very logical that one learns English if what wants is to study or get a student job  in France. Or one learns French if wants to move to Germany.

Let’s think about the English language as a useful base about our life. As much as if we want to go away for studying in Oxford or Harvard or for working as for “less necessary” things as reading an Times article in English or for watching new chapters of our favorite series without subtitling.

But sure, English language is not the whole thing in the life, not for nothing there are many people in this world that they do not speak it (let’s think only in China or India that in practice, English language is ‘WTF’).

So, we have many other possibilities to learn languages beside the English. For example, we have the Portuguese. This language is really beautiful, and when it is sung is even more beautiful, for me. If you want to listen to someone singing in Portuguese, just look for Ellis Regina, a Brazilian woman with a beautiful voice. On the other hand, when people say that the French is the love language, I don’t believe it is true, for me, Portuguese is much more romantic when it is spoken by a Brazilian or a Portuguese (though between he Portuguese of Brazil and Portugal there are many differences).

Another language that always called my attention is the German. Though I feel that I will never be able to learn it like it owes, is called me the attention whenever the father of my friend, who is a philosopher and always talks about Nietzche and never is agree about the translations … Anyways, as you can see, there are very much material for choosing. Even we might emphasize the luba-kasai, a language spoken for five million people the Congo, with this little word that is walking around in the Internet: Ilunga: Capable of forgive an abuse or offense for the first time, or tolerate it for a second time, but never for a third one. They had demonstrated to be capable of creating a very important word for something that sometimes we are all of us.
