Language and Communication

Listening Transcript

Show the Text

Picture this – language and communication are like our life’s toolbox. We need them every day to share our thoughts. The world is like a rainbow of languages – English, Spanish, Chinese, and more. With communication, we can show our emotions, beliefs, and thoughts. We can use words, letters, or even just a nod or a wave. By understanding someone’s smile or tears, we can really connect on a deeper level. That’s why it’s so key for us to learn different languages. It helps us chat with more people, build friendships, work as a team, and get to know different cultures.
