How I learnt five languages
I’ve always had this curiosity pushing me towards what I didn’t know. Ever since I was little, I wanted to learn everything, most of all languages. I was fascinated by the fact that people could communicate in a way others couldn’t understand, and that words carry the power of bonding people, the spirit of a culture, the past and present of a group of individuals with something in common. Then I had to accept the fact that learning every language in the world was nearly impossible. But still, in some ways, I tried to quench my thirst for knowledge.

Why and How Learning French Through Business and Entrepreneurship Changes Everything
Many people still learn French the way they learned subjects at school: grammar rules, exercises, vocabulary lists, and a lot of pressure to “do things right.” The problem is that this approach rarely works in the long run. You can do well in a textbook and still freeze the moment you have to speak in real life. Because when it’s time to talk, your brain is not looking for a rule. It’s looking for a reflex. It’s looking for flow. It’s looking for confidence.

Why the Cheapest Language Tutors Are Not Always the Most Effective
When searching for an online language tutor, the first reflex is often the same: compare prices. It feels logical, almost instinctive. Faced with dozens of similar profiles, the price becomes a reassuring shortcut. Many students tell themselves they will “try,” see how it goes, and change later if needed.

Communication. AI-Generated.
Introduction What is Communication? Communication is social process that is essential to life and fundamental to survival (Stacks & Hockings, 1999). It permeates every level of society and influences how we think, act, and engage personally and professionally. It is derived from the Latin word, communicare, which means to impart or share (Merriam-Webster, 2017). One of the most important aspects of effective communication is the use of a common language to create a shared understanding of messages between the sender and receiver. This process can take many forms: face-to-face; through mediated communication, such as written letters and books; or via electronic platforms, such as computers. Over the past 50 years, the media landscape and, consequently, the ability to communicate to mass audiences have greatly evolved. From radio and television to the invention of the internet and mobile technology, a range of platforms are now central to how and with whom we communicate. Communication studies have proven applicable in a range of fields, including business, law, film, education, computer science, advertising, and health. In recent years, strategic communication and promotion have gained prominence in the field of public health. Today, both approaches draw on theories to understand human behavior and facilitate disease prevention (Rimal & Lapinski, 2009). This makes sense given that communication is essential for the exchange of information, coordination of social actions, and the encouragement of behavior, including the dissemination of messages to influence health and wellbeing. Rimal and Lapinski (2009) refer to intervention efforts to change behaviors as “communicative acts” that often include both a function of information exchange and rituals of a social community. It is, therefore, important to understand the beliefs and value systems of a community when designing health communication or behavior change interventions, as different audiences may interpret messages in different ways. Human communication is indeed complex. Its long history and varied processes have been studied across multiple fields and practices for many years, this is a testament to the significance of communication to human existence. From these investigations, De Fleur and Ball-Rokeach (1982) present five major perspectives through which human communication can be viewed: • Human communication is a semantic process. It is dependent upon symbols and rules for their use that have been selected by a given language community. • Human communication is a neurobiological process. Meanings for particular symbols are recorded in the memory functions of individuals. Thus, the central nervous system plays a key role in the storage and recovery of internal meaning experiences. • Human communication is a psychological process. The meaning of words or other symbols to a given individual are acquired through learning. These meanings play a role in perceiving the world and responding to it. • Human communication is a cultural process. Language is a set of cultural conventions. It is a set of postures, gestures, and symbols, and their arrangements have shared or agreed-upon interpretations. • Human communication is a social process. It is the principal means by which human beings are able to interact in meaningful ways. Roles, norms, and social sanctions are understood through a system of shared values.
