DESCRIBE SOMETHING YOU DID TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE/
TALK ABOUT A TIME YOU HAD TO LEARN A NEW FOREIGN LANGUAGE
ll having a knowledge of different languages is a wonderful g but it is not easy to learn a new language. Let me share one erience when I had to learn a new language. I vividly remember I was in 8th grade when my family organized one week holidays in south India I always wanted to visit this part of the country as I had learnt a lot about it in my school books. South India is full of natural beauty in terms of beaches, Mountains, rivers, waterfalls and much more. The time we reached I immediately realized that we are going to face a lot of problems due to language barrier. Everyone was speaking the local language Malayalam, even the sign boards and billboards were in the regional language. We had a tough time in hiring a cab and finding a hotel because nobody knew Punjabi there. We did not want to have a disappointing experience so I decided to learn common words of Malayalam I purchased a book from a store to translate Punjabi into Malayalam Although it was difficult for me to pronounce most words yet I could convey my message Just with the help of this book I could interact with the locals for basic things such as buying tickets. hiring cah, shopping and others. During this trip I realized the importance of a common language which facilitates communication among people from different regions. After returning I couldn't practice this language with anyone and completely forgot the basic words that I learnt but I am thankful to the book for making our travel experience worthwhile
