In my free time, I love watching TEDx talks. This is relevant because watching those shows is what actually drove me to start learning foreign languages. One day I was randomly watching YouTube videos then I came across a video by Alexa Pearce, she was speaking about the multilingual mind. This immediately caught my attention and I listened attentively. What she talked about opened my mind to new possibilities as it showed me that struggling to learn a new language is worth it because the benefits that come with it outweigh the struggles. I got to learn that communicating in multiple languages improves one’s mental flexibility, executive function, and ability to see and understand things from different perspectives. This fueled my passion to learn foreign languages as I saw there’s much more to gain from it. If you’re perusing learning a foreign language, I encourage you to keep pushing forward even when you feel like giving up. If you have time you can also watch videos that speak about the benefits of being multilingual, who knows it might also fuel your passion to keep learning. My hopes and dreams when it comes to language learning is that In five years, I will be able to speak at least tek foreign languages fluently.
