Top 11 Benefits Of Learning A New Language - (2)

5. Stay Smart In Touristy Areas

Being a tourist who knows how to communicate with the local language does bring a whole lot of convenience. First of all, you won’t be easily targeted as “The Tourist”, like how Johnny Depp was targeted by Angelina Jolie in the movie or being an obvious target for tourist scams.
Secondly, you have a better chance to connect with the local sellers. Sometimes they might even get you a better bargain or a recommendation to a hidden gem where only locals will know. After all, you can afford to wander off, get lost and be independent without needing to ask for help, if you really master the local language. Therefore, it gives you a more authentic experience that sets you apart from being a typical tourist.

6. Connecting With Different Culture

A surprising discovery many multilingual or bilinguals might not even realise is that they are able to build a relationship with others quite effortlessly as compared to monolinguals.
In a scenario such as when buying goods in a market, a multilingual will be able to chat with sellers of different nationalities to find out more regarding the goods he or she is planning to buy. Although it may seem to be a simple chit-chat, by speaking in one’s native language it helps to build a deeper connection. As a saying by Nelson Mandela, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart”.

7. Open Up A New Door To Your Relationship

With the cultural diversity period we are living in, more and more couples coming from different backgrounds and cultures can be seen together nowadays, and the language barrier is no longer an obstacle.
Couples who are bilingual tend to see more from their partner's point of view, or rather, they appreciate the effort they put into their communication. Even though there will be a time where they may not be able to express their point accurately in their second language, chances are, mutual understanding can still be sorted out in two languages, leading to a deeper understanding of one another in a long run.

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?

You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.  What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't ...
