Let’s learn about language
What is a language?
Definition of "language" in the Cambridge dictionary:
"A system of communication consisting of sounds, words, and grammar, or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or area or type o work."
Definition of "language" according to the Longman dictionary:
"A system of communication by written or spoken words, which is used by the people of a particular country or area."
The term "language" is a system of signs (words), scripts, or gestures (body language) to express human thoughts and feelings of people in a specific geographic region.
Therefore, Vietnamese is a system of verbal symbols, written words and gestures expressing the thoughts and feelings of people that is formed by tradition, culture, and society in Vietnam.
English - American is a system of verbal, written, gestures expressing human thoughts and feelings of people that is formed by tradition, culture, and society in America.
A foreign language is a system of verbal symbols, written words, and gestures expressing thoughts and feelings of people is formed by tradition, culture, and society in a foreign country.
Learning a foreign language is to learn the way how to express your thoughts and feelings using verbal, written, and spoken signs of a language other than the language that you use daily in your country. Therefore, learning about the culture and daily life of the country that you want to learn their language will help you learn that language effectively.
