To know a language

To be able to express feelings and ideas with other people through words is the greatest human invention yet made.
Gonçalo Coutinho, 10º A

When two persons speak the same language they can understand each other.
Beatriz Machado, 10º A

It means that we can understand, read, speak, write and listen to that language. It means that we have a wide range of vocabulary, we are involved with the country, its people and its history.
Beatriz Romão, 10º A

A language is a world of words which together become ideas and feelings. This allows the relationship among all human beings.
Inês Ceriz, 10º A

What does it mean to know a language?

If people know a language, they become closer to the culture, the aspects and the people of a country.
Leonor Matias, 10º B

We need to learn as many languages as possible, or at least the most spoken ones, so that we can speak to people when we visit other countries.
Dinis Rodrigues, 10º B

I would say that speaking different languages is a worldwide culture connection.
Leonor Matias, 10º B
