Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to join me for this new episode of Walking with Johan. And today, it's not necessarily going to be an episode that's going to be focused on personal development, although it does touch on that topic, but we're going to talk about language learning in general and our personal organization. So thanks for joining me.
Quick reminder, before we start. If you're new or if you haven't done it yet, I invite you to join the Français Authentique newsletter . This will allow you to get exclusive content every week in your mailbox. So I think it's a very, very good thing to do. You have a link in the description of this episode, you give your address and you will receive your first emails today, so don't hesitate to do it.
Today, what I would like to do is share with you a desire that keeps coming back to me but that I constantly push back, I keep putting it off until later. It is about, no surprise spain whatsapp number data because I said it in the title, learning a new language. I will tell you a little later in the episode what language it is, finally what language I would like to learn, what language I consider.
But first, I would like to tell you why I want to, what makes me want to learn a new language. Well, first of all, I love learning new languages, I love the process, the uncertainty, the work it requires, the pleasure you get from progressing and seeing that you are able to communicate with someone, well, with whom you would not have been able to communicate if you had not learned this language. So I really love this feeling. Obviously, learning a language is super useful, and not just English.
From time to time I see people commenting on the Français Authentique YouTube channel saying: "Yes, well French is useless, we speak English, so that's enough." So yes, English is the most important language for me. And indeed, if you don't speak English, I invite you to master English because it's universal and it's essential today. Learning English, speaking English, is not a plus, in my opinion, it's a necessity in the global world we live in. But that doesn't mean that it's not a tremendous asset to speak another language and it's not something useful.
I had the opportunity to go to Eastern countries or some Eastern countries. When I worked in the automobile industry, when I lived in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, I met people who didn't speak English and with whom I could only speak German, for example. It's cultural, it was historical, but they spoke their mother tongue, so Hungarian or Slovak and German, because they had learned German at school. So for me, if I had only had my English and my French, I would have been really bothered, so German was super useful. And for me, speaking more languages is necessarily more useful.
