Sarah’s Creative Journey

Actually I don't speak six languages, but that's beside the point. I have been talking about languages and whether or not Americans should learn Spanish due to the U.S. having a lot of Spanish-speaking peoples.   My opinion was that we shouldn't have to learn Spanish, but it would only be beneficial to us to learn it. Or to at least learn something to the point where we can either understand what is being said, and to communicate back to them in some way.  Besides, by not learning another language (it doesn't necessarily have to be Spanish), we are just leaving up that barrier between ourselves and other people.   I don't understand why we try so hard to understand people in the sociological or psychological sense, but why we are so lazy when it comes to learning another language.  Compared to the human brain, that is a simple barrier which can easily be overcome.  But yet we continue to just sit on our butt and let other people learn Englis...

The days go fast  and yet so slow.  Today  I found a brick wall.  Not one of the shorter ones.   One that I am stuck in the middle, just like everyone else.  I realized I need to get over it.  Like the quote says: "Brick walls aren't there to keep us out, But to show us how badly we want something.  It's facing that brick wall that is the scary part of it. .
