Being a scientist for 23 years and using languages of collaborators. It's an easy routine, because you work and collaborate every day so it's easy to form the habit. Using the languages is often not easy, but SO worth it...

If you’re a language lover then you’re likely also a people lover. Language is all about connection. It means you’re naturally fascinated by how people express themselves, how they think, feel and communicate.

Learning a language isn’t just about grammar and vocabulary. It’s about unlocking whole new worlds. It allows you to enjoy music, films, food and books as they were meant to be experienced. It brings people together, builds understanding and makes life that bit more colourful.

Very true in science too, I've met some amazing collaborators thanks to knowing more languages than English - and the collaboration wants me make to learn their languages more

Another language is about experiencing life in a whole new way. It’s about genuinely understanding how other people see the world. It’s an upgrade across multiple disciplines. It benefits everyone, wherever else life takes you. Languages go way beyond another subject in school.

Hungarian vocabulary is hard to remember... To remember "boldog" (happy) I had to visualise a happy bulldog... To remember "torba" (bladder) in Turkish, I'll have to think of "torba" (bag) in Polish. Similar function...

Sevgili @sunnyglot : senin felsefeni seviyorum! Bir dil öğrenmek için çok kötü konuşman lazım! Bu yüzden burada Türkçe mesajlar yazarım... Muhtemelen çok hata yapıyorum... Şimdi benim Türkçe karşı büyük bir takıntım var 😉

Çok mutluyum, çünkü 🌷 eva | 雯雯 benim İspanyolca öğrenmetim! Çok motivasyonum var. Bence o bir öğretmenin en önemli özelliğisi. Dersler onunla çok eğlenceli ve ben zaten ondan çok şey öğrendim. Derslerde çok çeşitli konu hakkında konuşabiliriz. Hocam, teşekkür ederim!

Моят други 2️⃣ Туит по-български е за 🌷 eva | 雯雯 защото тя е една много добра професорка на испански език... Обичам да разговаря по-испански в лекцията, защото тя може да създаде много ентусиазъм. Това е най-доброто свойства, после клас винаги иска да продължи да уча. Благодаря

Spędziłem wiele lat poza Zjednoczonym Królestwie Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii Północnej. Po powrocie zauważyłem, jak często Brytyjczycy mówią "sorry". Miałem studentkę z Polski, która powiedziała "Wy Brytyjczycy mówicie nieustannie 'sorry', ale nigdy nie brzmi szczerze!'
