Response To Lead Blog October 23

language is a fascinating thing. It can bring strangers together andbe the material of amazing conversations. In all honesty, this video was rather difficult for me to understand. I imagined that it would switch from people speaking English to other people speaking different languages. However, it seemed like the people were mostly speaking in English. My confusion resulted from not being able to access the subtitles when foreign languages were spoken. Despite this, I do understand the beauty of being bilingual. I speak Arabic and English fluently, and I believe that it is a wonderful thing to speak multiple languages. It adds a unique aspect to your life. I can switch between the languages accordingly. Whenever I tell anyone that I can speak Arabic, the reactions I get are priceless. Some people are stunned. Others just think it's really cool, and others ask me to say something in Arabic. Also, being bilingual allows me to more easily learn a new language. I am learning Spanish right now, and I find it easy to learn. It's also nice to be able to speak two languages because if I needed to convey a private message to someone, I could say what I need to say in the language I find appropriate. For example, if I am having a personal phone call with a family member, I may speak in Arabic in order to keep it private. These are just some of the advantages of being bilingual. I am thankful that I am able to speak more than one language.
