Think about how often we use language and communication every day. It’s how we chat with people and understand what they’re saying. There are tons of languages out there – English, Spanish, Chinese, and heaps more. Through communication, we share what’s going on in our heads and hearts. Speaking, writing, body language – they all count. Like when we’re feeling over the moon, we smile. Or when we’re down in the dumps, we might cry. That’s why it’s so cool to learn and use different languages. You get to connect with more people, make new pals, work well together, and even learn about different ways of life.
