#JOELosophy #1: Is English not the language for me?


G like MC

I often think about random questions that I try to resolve but most of the time I end up on Wikipedia moo12 

Todays’s question: 

 

Is there a language(s) that are better suited for me out there than my mother tongue? (English)

 

We are In no control in the beginning of our lives. We don’t get to choose where, when or pretty much if we decide to exist. We are also not in control the language we are born into. 

 

When people immigrant to America and adapt American culture (or even do so in their homeland) they do so because of personal preference

So my question is if there is another language out there that is better suited for me? Maybe my mind would prefer a language that has a different sentence structure. Maybe my body prefers the physical feeling that my mouth, vocal chords and lips feel in another language. Maybe my ears prefer the sounds of a language with a different use of vowels. moo12 

I have wondered this for some time and have narrowed it down to either one of the Baltics ( Lithuanian or Latvian),  Basque, Berber, or Hebrew. moo12 

 

But then another question arises, would I have preferred a language that is now dead or extinct, or the archaic version of a language ? moo12 

 

let me stop before I get a headache moo12 

 

do you think there is a better language out there for you?

I think with English I can express myself easier. moo12 And I feel more comfortable when I communicate in English, I don't know why. moo12

I also started learning French, Italian and Spanish with Duolingo the last months. I really love the French language.

jk English isn't my mother tongue but I picked it up quick, skipped kindergarten and 1st grade because of it. I understand and speak better in English than any of the other languages i know and actually prefer it 24/7 so I totally believe that your mind and body can align itself to a certain way of speaking and thinking. My thoughts are definitely always in English. Do some research Joel maybe you'll come across something that sounds habitual to your ears and the way you speak!

my mother tongue is spanish. i started learning english when i was around 13ish when i joined a glee ( rip4 ) forum. even though i had some basic level due to being a fast learner and my mom exposing me to american music, bitch i STRUGGLED. i remember somebody once said "where were we" and i had to sit for a whole ass minute trying to make that sentence make sense in my head skksks. i'm way more comfortable expressing myself in spanish and sometimes portuguese than english, imo you can only replace your native tongue by completely submerging yourself into the culture and the society of the new language or moving somewhere where your language isn't spoken and being forced to not practice it if you don't put effort into it, which isn't an option if you go for extinct languages skkssks.

anyway no im pretty comfortable in my spanish w a bit of portuguese bubble, english is perfect for kikiin tho the british gays snapped when they created it
