I think we should care about other languages dying out. Language is something that can connect us to our cultural identity. Its like the basic hitory book into our past. If we lose languages we almost lose some diversity in the world too. With everyone specking the same language life might become boring, a from of culture might disappear. Different languages distinguished people apart ( not in a bad way), they can also help create communities of people with the same cultural identity. Plus, if everyone spoke english where would the fun be in taking another language in high school, when you could never use it anyway?

Ahh jeeze.
ReplyDeleteDana, you make a lot of sense by saying this. "what would be the fun in taking another language in high school, when you could never use it anyway."
These days it seems that the international language is English. In one of the articles we had to read, it said in 100 years, we would only have half of the languages we have today.
I guess it is imortant to learn English, but years from now we will regret only using it. Goodbye culture, goodbye individuality.
