of the first language?

The importance of utilization of words from parents is essential to a growing

child because they found it easier to learn things when they are expose to it as an

scenario example for that given hypothesis.
 The Affective Filter Hypothesis is a metaphor that describes a learner's attitudes that
affect the relative success of second language acquisition. For example Sarah is
reading something, but comprehending alone may not enough, so she should consult to
her parents to guide her, that's the best time for parents to manifest some sense of
concern in order for their little Sarah to learn quickly and better be successful upon
attaining or acquiring something. If a child is full of encouragement with high
motivation they are most likely to strive harder in acquiring about what they are
learning. Children needs attention and that parents should show non-stop support if
they want their children to be successful.

Question #5: Explain the quotation "Knowledge of Languages is the Doorway of Wisdom"

Nowadays, being a multilingual has increasingly become an aim for many people.
Looking at those people who knows two or more languages, we may think that they
are lucky to be knowledgeable enough to attain such. In fact we can also be like them.
Through learning and education we can free ourselves from being left behind by those
people who are already knowledgeable than us. Having knowledge of the languages is
an achievement that everybody would want to attain in their lifetime because if your
going to look on the other side we cannot deny that have this desire and dream to visit
another country one day right?
Being able to visit another country with a language different from yours is no longer
surprising if you already know and can understand what their saying. It is truly a
doorway to wisdom to have a knowledge of the languages because in this world, in
order to interact with people around especially to other countries, we should learn to
understand each other to be able to acquire distinction from races to races. Learning
their background and etc. serves as knowledge and that knowledge is through with the
help of knowing and understanding of a languages.
