Why Learn a New Language?
New Language
Adopt or imitate a different personality
Tap into different parts of our brain
Learn and use different sounds
New Language
Takes us on a journey which makes us appreciate others and ourselves in
a different way
English
English
People from different linguistic
backgrounds converse in English
Hence:
• They immerse in a different culture through the common language (English); and
• They discover different ways of expressing themselves; and
• enjoy the experience and learn from it.
ENGLISH
Similarly, A person from a non English-speaking background speaks English to person from an English-speaking background
Hence that person:
•immerses in a different culture through the common language (English); •discovers different ways of expressing thoughts and feelings; and
•enjoys that experience and learns from it.
ENGLISH
A native English-speaking person misses out on that experience

• desire by others to practise and show off their foreign language skills by speaking English;
• reluctance to create unusual sounds by shaping lips and positioning tongue; and
• reluctance to lose control and command.
REASONS FOR LEARNING ENGLISH
