TRANSCRIPT

I speak two languages fluently—English and Spanish. I’ve always appreciated how being bilingual allows me to communicate with a wider range of people and experience different cultures more deeply. It’s also been a big help in both personal and professional situations. I’d love to add another language to my list, maybe something completely different like Italian or Japanese!

TRANSCRIPT

I do like learning languages! It can be tough at first, but once you start to get the hang of it, it becomes a lot more fun. I love how it feels like solving a puzzle, and you can see your progress over time. Plus, learning a new language opens up so many new experiences—whether it’s through travel, meeting new people, or just understanding a different culture better. It’s challenging but really rewarding.

What are the advantages of knowing many languages?
TRANSCRIPT

Knowing many languages gives you a lot of advantages. First, it can improve your job opportunities since many businesses operate globally now. It also helps you connect with people from different backgrounds, which is invaluable both personally and professionally. Plus, it keeps your brain sharp—learning languages has been shown to improve memory and cognitive skills. It’s like having a superpower that opens doors everywhere.
