the, the we used to be forced to speak english. why we, we can from becky ground of speaking. so here we have been raised and imply healey . yeah, no, i've been told go stories and so he no longer reading it is what he then no longer writing you, you, you lose identity. we are just allowing her languages to die and we are in bracing languages that are not ours. because the right language, it does not only embrace communication, but also shapes of identities. how is seeing how we perceive the world at 1st as the core of our existence? this is a highly personal motto, right? and today we're taking a closer look at why that is named by the jama. again,

my name is 5 to any from a know she and welcome to the 77 percent show on language is did you know that more than 2000 separate and distinct languages spoken in one of africa? the largest 40 i've spoken by more than a 1000000 people. you might also be fascinated by people who speak multiple languages. the average person can learn $2.00 to $4.00 languages in the lifetime, so i can see that those are speak more to be extra ordinary poly plots. i took, for instance, this major on multi lingual who taught himself 5 new languages in just 4. yes, mid amazing. it brought him a giant volume on the boy, as us is the guy who is leave us process. he bring him, learned arabic, french, german, portuguese, and spanish, all in the course of just full year on year. and we spent this long to do this. people did go wow under, they'll like, i'll come,

i was able to learn it that much to the, to, to pronounce it so well without i've been lived in, in the places where the languages are spoken. it's a very fair question. the trick abraham says is to start with a basic foundation of vocabulary and then to find the age of opportunities to practice. luckily, the cosmopolitan metropolis of lagos office. plenty of those today. abraham is visiting his favorite lunch spot, running to buy french speaking playgrounds, from neighbor infiniti. also i, uh well i do see uh the, the most is, you know, good wanted to live in a place where it's hard to find someone to practice your new language on. well, it just goes online and checks with his target language. so he learns his 1st words goes online and makes print world wide language. you have to make something commitment, which doesn't come cheap. i use along with this every other day at also on my job.

i'm currently a translator translates english to. a spanish to lots of these and from government to english also, but really that hard work you can build up in advertising before heading home. abraham stops off for a swamp at one of lagos as many 11 easy to read. oh i like to set up an the show which means is a come from being able to walk anywhere in the world. we've got a list of way of from that a zip codes these these and daddy's depaula in long beach. can you see that jerry alone has more than 500 indigenous languages? so why does abraham focus on learning foreign languages instead of local ones? is some of you have also asked me to speak more local languages, not just english. i feel the language, it gives people a sense of belonging to. so i asked my colleagues if they feel any pressure to

learn additional languages, the local or foreign ones and how they cope with the so called colonial lingua franca. i'm guess why they are in fund they like to do with this, you know, the advocate department coming together as one big group and during lunch. do you feel any pleasure of speaking more look at language is i feel pressure because the, my country is a very diverse country and i think in order to make, if you need to speak another person's language, i can barely speak gone. so every time you go somewhere, we expect you to be able to speak in the language. there's also a lingua franca, which is from a different parts of the country where everyone else is lingua franca, a local language so. so the length of one k is the g, which is the language of the assigned to you. do you precise speaking? you're looking lingua franca to a foreign one. it's a, it's a tough class at the, i'll come back to you just think about sometimes we want to go to place because you know the language. maybe you want to buy something, but the price changes. so when you put all of those things together, i just threw yes, the pressure could be there, but the small beneficial i think what about the pleasure of speaking more foreign

language is, isn't it exhausting already to be able to have to speak more local language at then if it's exhausting, but i think it's important when you enroll me, do what the romans do. but what about if you are in your own country and you have to speak as a foreign language, for example. it's also one problem and creates many other problems because the key, which is the one guys from a different ethnic group. everyone knows like we want our language to also get that same prominence. but if we all just speak english them, you can avoid that conflicts. but it's nice to speak local languages too, because there's a lot of quotes are being lost now between the pressure of learning your local languages and learn in foreign languages where those attention like they're not as readily available as lending democrats. this way i can just download to a link or something. you think it's a, it's an issue of uh, access as well. well, i don't know. it shouldn't be. it definitely should not be if it is been does a big problem because we are just allowing our languages to die and we are in

bracing languages that are not ours. and that would take us again to south africa. well, 11 languages have been recognized in their constitution as measuring the language. you see that people have to speak english. they offer you a language. how do you feel that the english is the main line? it's not, it's not really that big a deal. it's a, it's a good thing because it gets the message across easier. there's nothing wrong with it since the defense on childs and cultures. and so we understand each other to really speak english and other young people today feel about the role of english interventions. i think they feel good cuz even though in case we want them to speak english because that's the language that makes things easier even when you go abroad. okay, that's a pretty clear one. for these young south africans, english is a good thing. but let's take a closer look at the base right door speaking english, for example, always help bridge the language divide or does it separate us from our identity

even more we put out a port on us. so it shows it was a pretty even split. 52 percent of our respondents. one colonial language is published by 48 percent believe that they should stay of was english is an important language in international commas education under digital fat. so is there a way to promote local languages? what also staying connected with the rest of the world. it is kemati on rob was this tricky topic. you know, a strict debate intends on the, the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. this week we are in one of my favorites, which is in africa. there is the lump tons of media. now did you know that the over a 100 languages spoken here and yet so he remains a national language. in fact, tons of media until recently was only one or 22 countries in africa to have that. as of today, we are asking why is it that we choose these impose languages when we have so many

to choose from? who are the 2 assets, then some fellow tons and he is, and i just want to start to be a general question, right. how many of you speak more than 2 languages? who speaks of these 3 languages? at least really well, at least for ok. so let's start with you the last man who is a student here in terms of the a, he's actually from a, from diana. so a club. so what languages do you speak? so i speak english now to say you alex s b, i kind of a cheat analysis, this house that you also see casa for language. and so how many languages do you speak? 2 languages, which ones are they in english? okay, so is it normal for most times and he has to be speaking at least more than 2 languages are guns before it doesn't is but i think, yeah, usually the standard 2 is usually disbanded, but most often it's one say, can you tell me how he became so prevalent in this country historically,

i think it's due to just the history of so he, of the cost has been the place to bring people together persians or hands of the european. so. so healy was the only, literally the language abroad, these people together. so talk to me a little bit about how it is in terms of mia every, let me speak to you because you're a teach at a private school. the language of instruction is ideally supposed to be useful. healy until you gets to secondary school. am i right? i see that 2 options in the private sector. that is where english is mostly spoken as the medium of communication waiting the government's website is mostly spoken as the medium of communication. so that gives a chance for most of them to keep running the language and gets used to eat and they grow v like when they reach 70, when they get they get to secondary. suppose that is when they sense using one language and that's as english as the meat of communication. isn't this difficult to though? i mean to have that super high transition support? tell me about the experience. it's really difficult because know when

a child who's speaking my, the mother language is so he, me and then that you, you, you being to use another language english. it's really hard for students to pop up with 2 languages. yes. which really has maria. i work in publishing, so we see a lot of people who are i'm not degree this. so you have someone who's graduated. so college who really reads per year and, and this is almost always, that should be due to the fact that they only have to learn english in um, in, in seconds. or they only have had to learn. so he's in maybe only primary and then they have to abandon it. okay, so we're talking about a bundling the language and yes, the people who are pink top dollar to learn the language. lillian hayes from zimbabwe and she's doing how much does it so he so what got you thinking? this is a language i want to use even of the terms. and he has himself say, who perhaps is not the best language of learning at the moment. what i would say

for me i, i, i so much you for you and he's getting more for me because they know what setting to name. it's used to being forced to them to. so he is, one of them will be suspending, assessing that why would they didn't chinese? yeah, chinese, you're teaching the gym as you get to choose. what would that go for those languages? plus who doesn't have anyone who's speaking, i can always say just of fit to go for a few swahili, which is also a f as in language. that's an interesting word. you've used forced to learn swahili, do you think that we're forcing other africans to use the national, the native languages so he has always been new will actually go, you know, it's links people together. i think what's happening right now, even with the say being the human language is a you and in the ac is that we understand that it links people has more than a language as a culture. so being african people relate to. so the healey speaker is because you

relate to the culture itself. well, just the language. so mario, we will you be honest with ourselves. yeah. if i'm to speak, want us to be as a kind of kind of really want to make fun of tons of me is because of your proficiency of, of what you leave. i mean of english. we internalize the self hate so that so we'd judge people based on the ability to just speak a board language. i would have to say, i instance any a when you speak english, when people look at you like you are intelligent and only 6. so here when you can speak english, there was look actually doing a housing thing and english a full is like you're for because you don't know english. yeah. uh, but i mean, this must not be good psychologically for anyone who's trying to learn the language . right. let me hear from you please. we used to be forced to speak english. yeah. of why we we can from becky ground on speaking swahili, we have been raised in swahili. so you reach in secondary school and find yourself

that you have to speak. you will really need to speak english as your 1st language . at the end of the day, you have to speak english for monday to do the evening. then you find yourself, you are hungry, you attack yet, and you are ending up hating this thing school english. so i really like what you've said about it even makes you, you know, sort of don't want to learn english in a to a certain degree. yeah. but when we draw, so it can be, as you say, or when we don't see it as valuable, what do we lose as a society? we lose our stories. historically, we being started have been passed down to us by your oral traditions or like we have grandfathers, grandmother sending us stories, is what he did. but then you have someone who now has to abandon home to go to school where they're no longer being told those stories. are he no longer reading it is a he the no longer right? jesus or he you, you, you lose your identity. let me hear from you mean they love. i think it was

indifferent with 2 quarter of the same lake right now. for example, the bullet, the you know, mary diary. yes. yes. to do that. and the bearing of the dates, those are the 2 quotes or things which i know right now. but, oh, other things which we that we do is big big. it is trust. okay, we don't to anything else? do you, do you lose your identity simply by learning another language or is it because because, i mean, i speak multiple languages, right? i have not stopped being i, q, q, u, or canyon or an african. well, the problem is that when you live along which, you know, sites, it's like the people who i was like when the problem comes. so when i speak english, i try to just like an english person, you know, 18, they can do this, but it is, i have to leave all my coaches behind, but i think we need some practical step. yeah, i think, you know, they do well with all the speaking a mazda times, perhaps a lingua franca, which is an african language and then english. but that's not the reality today. so

how do we shift this thinking? how do we get more people interested in african languages? more people speaking them writing and then seeing them doing debates in them with us? i agree that uh the good for most of us. oh, really let us draw up the ideas that we need to speak english looking like to intelligence and weltman, everything that has done that. so i think you've given us a really good answer because preserving language is, is resolving our selves who we are as african santini. suddenly says, i'm the for more thing. oh language. this makes sense. now if you've watched a fantastic english movie, but still where instead of side with the intriguing images and riveting dramatic scenes, what else do you need to be fully engrossed?

could lopez for installation of the movie, the, the key in this next page that we discover how translators are bridging the language gap in the film industry for everyone to enjoy. have you ever wondered how people around the world can seem international? maybe in uganda, translators, like b j phone backed up the glorious with the transition of the movie. you're putting yourself in position that you like giving a story to people in 11 months long because already the movies out in that it's like your language is, was the brothers really months language so that you give them a comprehensive approach which has been doubling movies and television obtainment for about 5 years beyond dialogue also helps to relate the scenes and characters to more local examples they've created between put in and movies and do this. so is going to nickels. people either love your movie or not. so the, i told creativity you're pointing in the movie, for example, um,

making people life making people in jail for the cause, the judge and the movie. listen to your advice and the movie also marked as tops movies and now growing in popularity, especially among people who don't understand the original foreign language. more people about paying to watch them in local sentiments like this one, some movies, are they detective movies at the moment? you have to be king and you need to have the tries that it gives you the vibe. you feel what to a why teen if it's very interesting for me. but while translated movies maybe into mom said not for everyone. some you gannons, especially english speakers, to prefer to watch the original. what's the boy? yeah. let me call them a lights there where they are. this they have said they're going to school. they prefer a non translated things and that's it. and you've been,
