The Love and Inspiration of Languages


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

  1. Hi Esmeralda! As a language enthusiast, foreign language learner and teacher, I was very intrigued by the theme of your blog and found your entries quite insightful. It seems that you gave a solid effort in presenting your content consistently and with your own original writing. My only suggestion would be to add more photos to “decorate” your blog, matching a photo with your writing to capture the reader’s attention. Great work overall!
