I love languages

Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?

I love languages but have a quiet voice,

People rarely listen which is their choice,

Sometimes it’s probably just as well ,

As my present and past tenses go to hell ,

“Will you be well yesterday”

Is not really what I meant to say,

Still you get my gist and know what I mean

It’s best to be honest and come clean

Muy Bien and Molto Bene,

Smile and ask “Haven’t you any?”

Zanhorias , fresas o pomadoras?

The reply is  La tienda de frutas is next doras!

Languages are really fun

They tell a lot about someone,

That you make an effort is really good,

One day you’ll find you’re understood.

It’s like a moment they call eureka,

When the listener acknowledges the speaker,

It takes time and perseverance,

There’s a truth in language that overcomes

malfeasance,

Say it differently the meaning is clear

Not to learn will cost us dear.

So don’t be embarrassed about your speech

Languages are the answer to learn and teach.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏
