    Answer the questions

    Question 1
    Language is an oral or written expression to communicate. It also serves to bring people together and enable the sharing of cultures.

    Question 2
    No, each language has its particularity but some are closer than others. For example, the French, English, Spanish, Italian ... use the same letters, the alphabet and the same numbers too.

    Question 3
    The difference between the languages are remarkable in writing and speaking is to say, spelling, vocabulary and above grammar.

    Question 4
    The similarity between languages is the fact that they all use to communicate in writing or oral.

    Question 5
    It's easy sometimes to learn a language if it has a common root with our native language. But it will be a lot of effort to practice it more often.

    Question 6
    Not really because when you're young you learn a language faster and above all it's the same language that I practice every day.

    Question 7
    It was at school that I learned like all children my age.

    Question 8
    Not at all because it's less efficient with age, but if the native language has the same roots with the second language that can be an advantage.

    Question 9
    Learning another language can enable you to have access to other cultures, to exchange with other communities. It’s also a means of integration in other societies to live in harmony with them.

    Question 10
    Yes, absolutely because you sure will be useful even if it takes time and a lot of personal investment.

    See you soon!
