The Daily Prompts can take us places…

Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?

The multilingual amongst us will get to shine the brightest today..and so you should! The ability to converse in other languages is some superpower in my eyes.

When English is your mother tongue, there is less of an incentive to learn another. Lazy of us, I think.

There was a time I was familiar with hearing Arabic and Tamil on a daily basis, and if I had stayed in that place, I might be holding my own.  As it is the only practice I get now with Tamil is with the lad at the petrol station who appears remarkably impressed I can say hello, ask him if he’s had his breakfast then thank him and say goodbye. Bless him.

( He can speak several languages and has a degree in engineering. He’s humble and kind)

I think sometimes that I wish I had stayed overseas…

My lovely friend Sister Mary. Beautiful inside and out

    • I lived in Chennai for some time. My co-workers and friends were keen to help me learn their language. But I left there 20 years ago. I miss it.
