Personal Note On Hobbies And Hobbies

There are about 7,000 languages in the world today. In America, there are 350 languages alone. However, only about 25% of Americans can speak a language other than english. Despite the majority of Americans being monolingual, 43% of the nation believes it is important to learn a second language. Being bilingual has many benefits for the future. Knowledge of foreign languages can expand career potentials, help improve one's native language, and can aid opportunities to travel and experience new culture. Learning a foreign language is one of the most beneficial experiences for people in the future.

For right now I can only speak English fluently, but I am learning Spanish in my classes that I take at school.

What languages do you speak fluently?: I can speak only English fluently. I am currently working on trying to speak fluent Spanish, but that is getting nowhere.

Learning to speak Spanish will open doors for you. Like English, Spanish is an important and widespread language in the world. The Colonial Era caused both languages to be spread to the far corners of the globe. Along with French, these languages are the closest thing to a lingua franca that we have today.

The language I first learned at home was Spanish because that's how I communicate with my family members. What motivated to to learn more about my target language is the culture behind the speaking language and the correct usage, not just the slang words. When I traveled to Mexico it helped me learn more about the language for example, in the way they use more formal words and high vocabulary words when communicating with someone. Another experience I had was when a man at the gas station didn’t know how to speak English and the cashier didn’t understand him. Since I understood what he was saying in Spanish I offered him my assistance and helped him as a translator.

of now there are about 5000-7000 different languages in the world. I can speak and

I’m not really the type of person that doesn’t read a lot I don’t read for fun reading is not my favorite hobby, when I do decide to read books my favorite type of books are mostly fantasies books, Rick Riordan would be my favorite author, he wrote numerous series of books called “Percy Jackson and the olympians which has now been made into movies.

If one was to go to another country , one big concern will be , how will they communicate with others. “Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where it’s people came from and where they are going” (Brown). Most people would say that they can use technology or their phones but that is not always the case. What if their phone die or they were to leave somewhere ? Then what will one do. These are the things people would have to think about. Traveling to another country will make everything a lot easier if you knew the native language. It will also make the trip a lot more fun

This best describes the amount of Bosnian/Croatian language I knew. I studied English throughout my 14 years of education, however that did not assist me at all. I thought that learning Bosnian might be an arduous task but he first two weeks proved to be a completely different story. I knew that everyone hardly spoke English here in Sarajevo so the changing room, for me was considered a scary social setting, it was the place where I finally had to build solid friendships. The coach Adnan was relatively OK in his broken English. Assam, the captain of the team was fluent whilst the other fellow teammates were learning, which was interesting. I decided to help them with their English whilst having them helping me with my Bosnian. I learned it slowly. Bosnian is such an inspiring language to learn, and although I wasn?t fluent, undergoing the challenge of learning the language was a hundred percent worth

Language is used every day in our everyday lives all over the world. Marian and Shook state that “language is used to communicate our thoughts and feelings, connect with others, identify culture, and understand the world around us” (Marian & Shook ,2012,para.1) There are many languages all over the world and some people understand more than one language such as understanding both English and Spanish. People that are Bilingual are exceptional in a way that they are intelligent, helpful, and have advantage openers.

What (if any) foreign language(s) do you read, write, or speak? How were these skills acquired?

　　　　Language is an essential part of our daily lives. Language is used to communicate with other people to meet our needs and satisfy our understandings. Everyone uses one language or another. Some have an advantage and are able to use

There are many hobbies and interests surrounding us every day. There are craft hobbies, extreme hobbies, fun hobbies, world hobbies, great hobbies, action hobbies. Hobbies include the familiar, the unusual or weird, unique and popular. It is like a hobby lobby in the middle of the world.

I have many hobbies that I fill my time with. I enjoy reading. Ever since I was little my dad has called me a “voracious reader”. I am open to reading any kind of book, but I especially love realistic fiction, action adventure, and nonfiction. I also love playing sports. I did track for one year, softball for two years, gymnastics for three years, basketball for five years, and soccer my whole life as well as camps for tennis and swim. I find that playing sports has taught me many important skills including teamwork and reaching out to others as I’ve played with new people. These sports have also taught me the importance of staying healthy and fit. One of my other hobbies is music. I love music and find myself dabbling in piano and guitar whenever I have free time. I also play the trumpet and sing in my church choir. Lastly, I love baking and cooking. Although to my parents dismay sometimes (because they complain I’m making them fat) I always find myself gravitating to the kitchen and have acquired quite the collection of pans, sprinkles, food coloring, and other tools. My hobbies have taught me the importance of hard work and dedication and a love for trying new things.

A hobby is an activity one develops to pursue an interest, outside of one’s regular occupation and engages in them primarily for pleasure. Hobbies range from fly fishing to leather working to star gazing, it can be anything you want it to be and anything you want to do. Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person and it can give you the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. A chain of events may lead you to a new hobby which you had never considered or thought of before.
