I belive yes. Studying new topics and advancing in new fields is definetly
something welcomed. In my country possessing knowledge about any foreign language
could help you find jobs easier. Also, proving that learning foreign languages is
important in my country, pupils are taught in school english, french, german at a
good level even from an young age.
Why are some people seemingly better at learning languages than others?
I belive a reason for that is genetics and how people developed while being
children. I strongly belive that if a child is often playing some mind games, or
reads new things, the chance of him growing up with a good memory and good skills
and picking up things easely is quite bigger. Even if some people are more
advantaged than others, I belive that the most fluent and well prepared are the
ones who put in the most effort.
how do people in your country feel about english being the world language?
My opinion is that citizens of my country feel ok, they're trying to adapt to
english being the world language. I notice more and more English loan words in
Romanian which doesn't cheer me up. I am sure that knowing and being fluent in
english is a must, but still it doesn't have to mix with the local's language.
Do you think the culture of english speaking countries as well as english language
dominate the world?
Pherhaps yes. In every country you would visit you can get by speaking english with
locals. English is the world language so most of the citizens of each country have
at least a minimal knowledge of it. And because of thhis, the culture, traditions,
holidays of english speaking countries are widely spread throughout the world.
Why do you think people feel it is important to continue speaking their local
languages?
I belive all local languages should mentain their position as being predominantly
spoken in those areas. Local languages bring emotions, traditions but most
important history. I'm certain that it was a period for every country when they had
to fight for their language, rights and so on. How could we stop it now? A language
represents a group of people and I belive that's why people still feel it is
important to continue speaking their local language.

the language I would mostly like to learn is German. German is predominantly spoken
in germany, austria, swizzerland and also as a minority language in the close area.
I belive that the most challenging part would be learning the pronounciation and
the words. German is not a latin family language, as romanian is, so it would be
harder for me to pick it up. Still, German has a lot of loan words from english so
pherhaps I will succed. I would like to learn German because it's mandatory to have
a good level at it, when aplying to german universities. Germany would be the ideal
country for me to live in, so it motivates me a lot to start learning it's
language.
