• It strengthen my relationship with those who speaks the same language..
• It gives me confident while accessing them and build a good relationship with them.

Are you willing to teach your children these languages? Yes/No. State your reason.

I will teach my children those language and make sure they are good in it, so that they can trade wisely and when they see themselves in an avenue to express it.
It also give them a upper credit when it comes to exchange of good and service even relationships with tribes they speaks
Learned other language gives them opportunities to study and understand the traditions and customs of that tribe.
This will give them courage to learn more language and be acquainted with it.
