Lingua Franca

Language is either the specifically human capacity for acquiring and using complex systems of communication, or a specific instance of such a system of complex communication. But what is language for me? Language is the key of communication. It is the best way to talk or converse with others who live in the same land or country. Some thinks why we need to practice the foreign language if we have our own. There is a big fight between the ‘Fluency of Foreign Language and Mastery of your Mother Tongue’. 

For me, I would choose the mastery of my own language rather than the fluency of foreign language. Because how can you be fluent with other languages if you can’t master your own language itself.  And if we, ourselves know our own language that much, and then wherever we go, we will be able to communicate with other citizens well. As the quote goes “Ang pagmamahal para sa isang karaniwang wika ay ang puso ng nagmamahal para sa kapaligiran ng bansa.” We should love our own language because it’s one of the best things to be proud of.
