How Learning A Language Changed Our Lives
Watch this video and answer the questions:
1. What languages did Sadie, Ben and Shammi learn?
2. Why did they learn a second language? What impact did this have on their lives?
Sadie learnt Spanish because without that language, she wouldn't have known the gentleman who introduced her a traditional family from Ecuador with who she spent a night after a loosing the last pass bus. It allowed her to have and authentic experience in that country.
Ben learnt German because after a surgery in his back, he had to spend six months in a rehab clinic and nobody there spoke English. After learning the language, he was able to answer a call from the theatre and he got the job.
Shami wanted to learn Hindi and because he was learning it, he was the interpreter of a beautiful blond woman who became the love of his life.
