Enrich your life
We discovered a new museum in the heart of Paris! http://www.mundolingua.org/en/
Surprisingly it was created out of private interest with the burning desire to animate children and adults to learning foreign languages.
With 170 square meter it is a compact space. But as soon as one uses the individual headphones and delves into one aspect of linguistics or grammar or pronunciation, the world of words engulfs you. What, you speak only three languages and those all on the Germanic branch? Luckily that English is one of them and has become a universal language.
A group of young teens played one of the word games available. The enthusiasm of them in competing to find the correct word was a living proof of the immense pleasure owning a large vocabulary.
❝If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.❞
