This week I am a bit late for Frizz´s challenge: letter T….But here it is…..
TRANSLATION (lost in….)
No, I am not going to do any review of the film, do not worry….But it is about languages …
When one speaks a language, one realizes it is like a door open to another World, another culture, another history, another people in fact….And, then, we enjoy meeting these people, trying to practice their language, proud to understand and to be understood…We become more and more interested, and we read books and watch news in that new language…And that is why the language is alive!!!
Sometimes, we leave it aside and , slowly it becomes more and more difficult for us to be able to communicate, to remember words and meanings….
So, imagine me…I have been studying one for 6 months and stopped for summer holidays,
I do not have anybody to speak it to….
I stopped drawing it, and I got rusty…..
I came back to it 2 weeks ago….
And now, honestly, while trying to do my homework…..
I realize I am lost in Translation!!!!!
My Egyptian Hieroglyphics
ilargia64 
hey, my compliments ! THAT is heavy language learning : it even beats Hungarian and Basque.
I do not about HUngarian, but I can tell you that it is harder than Basque! 🙂
wow, you’re the first person that i know who is studying and learning hieroglyphics.. that is so unique and something to be admired 🙂
Thanks Elizz…And sometimes I wonder «why?»…But I know that is for fun and pleasure…
What a cool thing to learn!
😉
fine illustrated vocabulary in your paper notebook!
greetings by
Thanks a lot Frizz!!! That post of the Babel Tower is super interesting!!!
Studies say that it’s great training for the mind to learn a new language and/or mathematics. Personally I find language to be much more interesting than mathematics 🙂
me too—
You are the first person i know that «speaks» that language…..!!!!!!! WOW!
Well, I just try to understand it…;)
Once again……… WOW! 😀
«Los límites de mi lenguaje son los límites de mi mundo», decía Wittgenstain.
😉
Y tenía más razón que un santo…
¿He escrito «Wittgenstain»? Wittgenstein, en realidad.
Así que si expandes tu lenguaje, también lo hace tu mundo.
Un saludo
🙂 Eso es verdad…El lenguaje te hace acercarte a una cultura, a un arte, a esos lugares y personas que, de pronto, dejan de ser lejanos y se convierten en una pequeña parte de tu vida..
