From being narrow minded in coming up with arguments about each persons' native language, perhaps we have come a very long way in enjoying the beauty of each language and the joy that each can provide us. It is like finding "goodness" in everything rather than trying to find the "faults".Overlook point apartments – the place where I live currently, had provided me some of the best friends of my life. It is very interesting that each of them were from different states of India, where they speak different languages. My ex-roomie was from Karnataka and the friends in another apartment belonged to Goa, Andhra and Uttar Pradhesh. One of my roomie is from Orissa, whose best friend is from West Bengal. Ofcourse we then have the folks from Kerela! As you can see it gives me a prospect of hearing conversations in a plenty of languages besides watching movies in those languages too. (Thanks to the first rated translators or the English sub titles, a wide arena of movies can be looked forward to!)
United States is equally famous for the immigrants from various parts of the world, giving them the chance to know about European, Asian and African cultures. As I have mentioned in my previous blog, learning languages bring us closer to the natives. Even feelings can be more accurately expressed in native languages! Such is the power of languages.
Enjoying entertainment needs no language, that too when it comes to music. The idea of recording songs from multiple languages is such an innovative one that can satisfy and reach a wide range of people.
For parties and small events where you can expect such an assortment of folks, try to adapt ideas from an orbit of cultures. This would make it an instant success and you will have the warmth of satisfying men, women and children more personally!
