気になった記事があたったので。 やっと体調が良くなったので、ずっと勉強してました。 勉強しながら音楽聞くの好きなので、 今日のBGMはD-SIDEのファーストとセカンドと、 Bon JoviのHave a nice dayです! ↑のアルバム捨て曲なぃんですけど、 特に今好きなのが4曲目のwho says you can't go homeです。 これはドライブとかでも聞きたいですねー♪
本題の気になった記事です
languages might seem pretty easy.you've spoken it since you were about a year ago,and long ago you reached the point where you could talk and think at the same time,or even before you think,which sometimes is a bad idea.
but langueages is really complicated,and each one is as complocated as any ohter.you probably know this if you are studying another languages,but,if not,you'll soon realize it when you get to your first foreign-language class,maybe spanish.
that's where you'll learn,for instance,that"no problem"is not spanish.it's a spanishlike expression that english speakers like to use,so english has to be flexible enough to pick it up and make it part of language has changed.this happens all the time.everyday you're adding new words,new sentences and new expressions. they might describe the internet-"blog",short for web log,"spam"-or your favorite story(harry potter series)-"quidditch","dementor".and,of course,you have to be able to talk to your friends:"dude,i'm sooooo not into studying for this test.what abummer".

most linguists think that all humans once spoke the same language.as people spread out,languages adapted to local conditions.for example,brazilians didn't need a word for bananas.and until 200 years ago,people in norway and brazil rarely spoke with one another.
so,having different languages is natural.some,including german and english,are closely related;others,including navajo and english,are not.figuring out how languages match up with one another-words,grammar,sounds-is one of the things linguists do.
for a long time,people have tried to give the world a universal language because they think it would help international understanding if everyone could talk to each other.the most famous attempt is language calledesperanto,invented in the 19th century.it has dedicated followers but has never realy caught on.
esperanto エスペラント語。人工国際語。
yet linguists will point out that instant communications and rapid transportation might be doing today what scholars have never accomplished.somewhere in the world,one langueage that's better for getting jobs or going to schooloverwhelms

people don't notice this in countries like the united states,because english is the world's second-most-spoken language after chinese,and it is becoming harder for other languages-native american languages,for instance-to survive.
so,is english going to be the universal language?maybe.is this a good idea?what do you think?
