The importance of learning languages


I think you can't learn enough languages. It's a door into foreign cultures. I live in Belgium myself where languages are of the utmost importance. Here we have 3 official communities living together, a Flemmish community speaking Flemmish (about the same as Dutch), a Walloon community speaking French and a German community speaking German. I myself speak next to my own dialect Ostendish, Flemmish, English, French, German, Russian, some Polish and some Mandarin Chinese.

Recently I passed my Russian exam for my fourth year of evening classes.
First semester I got 90% and for my second semester I received 92,5%.

Yippee!

Take care,

Michel
