Learning another language is so interesting because many people seem to be in a rush to do so because they’re going on a trip or something. How long has it taken you to get to your current understanding in your native tongue? Do you remember how you started to learn? If so, you can apply the same philosophy to learning a new language, and you will pick up on it rather quick, as you will also have a frame of reference to understand what you are learning. Learn the alphabet, learn to count, learn a few words. Do all of it while learning to read the language so you can encourage and train your brains’ pattern recognition skills. It is daunting, but only if you’re in a rush. Take your time, but practice with purpose!

Having different Languages is so all the people suffering and struggling dont come together and figure out a new future for the masses of humans struggling and suffering.
Have different Languages so if the masses decided to work together it wouldn’t work because of the different Languages that keep us against eachother.
Alot of people with bad programming & they dont have time to realize the truth if there suffering bad .
