After reading you I wonder if it is important to learn as many languages as possible... imagine you understand at least 14 languages would that be a blessing or can it be a burden as well?
Just knowing a language does not mean we feel the meaning about the word used and can express ourselves in the right way.
At times I think we all talk too much. We talk to keep the conversation going on but are not interested in listening what is said or better (are able to) what is meant. I already experience that in my own country if I speak dutch.
What would the world look like if we wouldn't speak foreign languages? I remember those days children were always able to communicate, to play, have fun no matter the country or people they met. They understood each foreign cartoon or television show (so did I). Perhaps we should focus more on body language instead of being glued to the screen.
I also wonder if it's still a must to teach/learn languages if google or other apps translate every word said even though it's far from perfect.
Thank you for the invitation dear. It's appreciated. I'll see if I can make it to write something about this topic.
Just like you I want my children to learn, or at least understand, foreign languages and not just the one of the country they were born. 😉

P.s. I'm sorry but I can not join this contest because I don't use X.
I really appreciate your comment. I don't speak all the languages but I only speak three dialects which are almost similar to another but could just merely understand the others intermittently.
Thank you, for visiting my blog.
I wish I could speak any foreign language though.
Which foreign language are you interested in?
Perhaps you can try the app DuoLingo? The only problem is you need internet and my phone has a hard time loading it.
There are other language apps as well like Lingo Deer, and Language Transfer (lessons can be downloaded and you can use them offline).
