Languages are something that
everyone uses every day. We use it when we are having fun with friends, or when
we are doing serious tasks. Of course, people who are indifferent to languages
would think that languages are no more than an effective means of
communication, but this is simply not the case. To me, languages act as the identity
of a race as well as mentors of people. Their influence goes so far as to the
emotional side of the human race, and there are so many positive aspects that
come with languages that we are not aware of.
For years, studies have shown
that exposure to the Spanish language is an effective cure for mental problems.
Natives speakers of Spanish are less inclined to depression, and also the
language seems to have a very strong influence on others. Visitors to countries
in Latin America seldom feel sad on the streets, as Spanish is such a free,
positive language that exudes passion.
Personally, I should say that I
have witnessed an immense growth after I started learning this tongue too. In
high school I was a very depressed and introvert girl, but after I started
Spanish lessons I began to feel confident and happy, enjoying the littlest joys
in my life and appreciating the beauty of a lot of things in the world. The
enthusiasm that the Spanish language gives out really inspired me to look to
the bright side of things, and I learned to be anxiety-free. The love that I
have for the Spanish language exceeds the love that I have had for anything
else in the world, as this is something that really changed my soul and my
attitude.
Hence, though I may not aspire to
be a Spanish professor in the future, the passion that Spanish has given me
will sustain me still. Spanish has not only made me capable of communicating
with 0.6 billion people in the world, but also it has given me light and
energy, something so valuable that I shall treasure always. J
