I feel that as the world becomes more and more multicultural, it's a good tool to be able to speak another language.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never been in any country for more than four years, and I'm learning different languages all the time. It gives you a different attitude.
It might be inevitable that we have to confront the idea that our destiny is to be one world with one language.
Some languages expand not only your ability to speak to different people but what you're able to think.
The cool thing about doing a voice-over into a different language is that you get to bring the character of your own culture into it.
We've got so many different cultural groups in my family that I've had to learn to accommodate them in different ways. My father speaks different to my mum. My mum speaks different to my grandmother. Everybody speaks different, so you find you start tweaking your language to be more accessible to people.
It is much easier to learn another language when you are young, enthusiastic and unembarrassed.
In our generation, everybody told us that it's really important and it's nice to be able to speak a lot of languages. It's an art, too. It really impresses me, people who speak, like, seven languages. I admire them so much, so I began with English, and then Spanish and maybe Portuguese.
History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; it is a curse for a society to be bilingual.
People come from around the world and can understand each other without even speaking the same languages!
I think the best part of learning a language is that you can see the country's culture through the language. And it gives you different levels of understanding of that culture when you really try to dig in and learn it.
