I used to think language is just a way of communication, so I didn’t found it interesting or important. But now I think that language is such a fascinating subject after learning that it contains so many cultures, meanings, transformations, influences and knowledge that I don’t know about before.

Everything around us can be language. Besides speaking, writing and reading, the abbreviations we use on the internet, the names of the shops and brands, noises and sounds, all of those are languages. Actually there are a lot of knowledge about language itself and how to use language. Different people can have different ways of using language. Their choice of words, way of expressing feeling and language, accents and tones, all of that can be affected by their cultures, beliefs, family, friends and communities. In different culture, words can have different meanings, and the use of language can be very diverse too.

In fact we are learning language every day and everywhere we go. We learn language when we chat with others, texting your friends and reading random quotes on the internet. Learning how to use words cleverly, learning how to express our thoughts clearly to the others, learning how to use quotes appropriately, and learning how to persuade others.

After this one week of discussing and reading about language, I found a deeper interest in this topic. I no longer think that language is boring, because now I know the importance of language.
