Can you imagine how life would be if we all spoke the same language? You may have heard the story of the Tower of Babel. According to the Book of Genesis, it was a huge tower built in the plain of Shinar, and up to that moment, the whole world spoke only one language. The tower was built for the purposes of reaching heaven, but God knew that this would only lead the people away from him. As a result, God confused their language causing them to speak different tongues so that they would not understand each other.

The story of Babel depicts language diversity as some kind of “punishment” for the greed and arrogance of mankind. However, we believe that language diversity is something good, as variety and cultural richness are good. Why? Let’s see some of the consequences of losing our language diversity.

Since language builds up the world that surround us, and not the other way around, having only one language would do away with diversity. All cultures would be lost and we would all be the same.  We wouldn’t have so much to learn from other countries and cultures, since we would be virtually all the same. We would lose our creativity, since we would be limited to the constraints of one language, of one word. We wouldn’t be so tolerant and open minded, which would lead to more wars. The powerful groups would take advantage of the people’s numbness, and tyrannies would take control. If you think in a long term, having only one tongue would lead to disaster.

English is not only in the top 3 most spoken languages in the world, but also the favorite second tongue. Knowledge of English allows you to communicate with native English speakers and natives of other languages whose second tongue is

English. While taking French classes Chicago students know that the formal study of such language is the only way to get real immerse into the French culture.

Wow, I just visited a site that is just beautifully done and is a treasure trove for the horse enthusiast!  They sell all kinds of stuff here for the equestrian!  I think that (being a girl), all girls love horses when they are little.  Some sort of fantasy maybe, maybe it’s the stories and books we read as children, but horses spell romance.

I know a few people with actual horses and I wiiiiiish I had one myself.  But even if you can’t or don’t have one?  You can still buy the things you love about them and surround yourself with them.  And, if you are lucky enough TO ACTUALLY have one?  What a beautiful place to browse!
