this is, india is new generation. what are they doing? and the road must help in this country. what do they want to change into society? full of contrasts. the indian aids stuff, june 5th, i'm d w. the . we used to be forced to speak english. why we, we can from becky ground, don't speaking well here we have been raised on 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 just allow her languages to die and we are in bracing languages that are not ours. go to the right language. it does not only bridge communication, but also shapes or identities. how is seeing how we perceive the world? it 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, i mean by that gentleman again. my name is 5 to illegal mendoza and welcome to the 77 pass and show a language is due to that modern to his father and separate and distinct language is spoken in one of africa. the largest 40 as spoken by more than a 1000000 people. you might also be fascinated by people who speak multiple languages. the average person can learn 2 to 4 languages in the lifetime, so i can see that those will speak more to be extraordinary pollock. let's take, for instance, this missouri and molten in what, who taught himself, 5 new languages in just for you as me the amazing it brought him a giant volume on the voice. that is the way you see those processed. he bring him, learned arabic, french, german, portuguese, and spanish, all in the course of just full years on your and me this long to do this. people

that 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 for you to of opportunities to practice. luckily, the cosmopolitan metropolis of lagos office. plenty of those today, the bright human is visiting his favorite lunch spot, running to buy french speaking playgrounds, from neighbor infiniti. also i was just doing uh, the nc 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, a brand name. i just goes online and chat with his target language. so he learns his 1st words, goes online and makes print world wide language. you have to make some 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 on from government to english also, but really hard work. you can build up in advertising before heading home. abraham stops off for a swamp at one of lagos as many, 11 east. it was somebody i like to set up. and the show is coming from being able to walk anywhere in the world regardless of way of from that is the opportunities 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 though language 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 that 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 speak this lingua franca, a local language so. so the limbo front gray is the chief, which is the language of the assigned to do you precise speaking, you're looking lingua franca to a foreign one. it's a, it's a tough guy said to welcome 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 this things together,

i just feel 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 i'm problem and create so many other problems because she, 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 conflict. 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 potential in life they're not as readily available as len examine. for instance, where i can just download dual ingle 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 but 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 takes, it's a good thing because it gets the message across the issue. there's nothing wrong with it since the defense on childs and cultures. and so we understand each other. so really speaks english and other young people today feel about the role of english interventions. i think that's a good cause, even though in case we want them to speak age 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 this right doors. 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 our socials. um, 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 commerce 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

well. today we are asking why is it that we choose these impose languages when we have so many to choose from who but at 2 assets, then some fellow tons of ideas. 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 yeah, 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 or 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 it 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 he does 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 support. so he's 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 the groves like when they reach 70, when they get they get to secondary. suppose that is when they start using one language and that's his 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 is speaking my, the mother language is so human 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. so it's 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 in this is almost always attribute to the fact that we've only had to learn english in um, in, in 2nd. or the only have had to learn. so he in maybe only primary and then they have to abandon it. okay, so we're talking about a bundling the language and you have to be 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 of me as themselves see me 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. cuz like now what was, was setting to then it's used to live, especially to being forced to them to. so he is one feeling with this is feeling excessive. that's why would they lend chinese chinese, you're teaching the humans yet teaching. what would that go for those languages? well, so you don't have anyone who's teaching that now would say just to go for q swahili, which is also a f as in language. that's an interesting what you've used. forced to learn swahili, do you think that we're forcing other africans to use the national, the native languages? so healy has always been new, will actually go, you know, it's links people together. i think what's happening right now, even with saving them. the 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 he, i mean of english, we internalize the self hate. so that suite judge people based on their ability to 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 at you like being a how is in thinking english a full is like your for because you don't know english. yeah. 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. um, why we, we came from becky ground on speaking swahili. we have been raised in,

so i healey. so you reach in secondary school and find yourself that you have to speak. you'll really need to speak english as your best language. at the end of the day, you have to speak english for monday to do the evening. then you find yourself, you're hungry, you attack yet and you're ending up paging these things 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 it 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. and so he 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 is what he then on longer writings. and so he, you, you,

you lose your identity. let me hear from you mean they love. i think it was initiative with 2 quarter of the same lake right now. for example, the bullet, the you know mary. the diary. yes. yes. to do that. and the bearing of the dates, those are the 2 courts 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 you 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 a to call you or canyon or an african. well, the problem is that when you live along which, you know, sites, it's like the people who the language like when the problem comes. so when i speak english, i try to just like an english person, you know, 18, they can use this. it is, i have to leave all my cultures 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 applicant languages? more people speaking them writing and then seeing them doing debates in them with us? i agree that's a good from lots of, oh, really let us draw up the ideas. that's when you speak english. you'd be looking like to intelligence and wells and everything that has done that for one hour. so i, i think you've given us a really good answer because preserving language is, is resolving our selves who we are as african santini. son says, i'm promoting our own 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? couldn't lopez, for installation of the movie data key in this next page? so 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 seen international movies? and 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 to gosh, has been diving movies and television attainment for about 5 years beyond dialogue . he also helps to relate the scenes and characters to more local examples they've created between put in and movies and do this. so he's going to nickels people either love your movie or not so that i took great tv to your pointing and then

moving, 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 way. do you feel what to a why teen it's, it's very interesting for me. i thought, well translated movies maybe into most the notes for everyone. some uganda is especially english speakers to prefer to watch the originals most of everywhere. yeah, let me call them. i like that 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, depending on how that guy is going, he's going to translate the movie for you and you end up missing out some, some very important information from what doctors are trying to give you what bus to match his livelihood. hands in the balance authorities want to put a stop to his leg on the ground. so that may violate intellectual property rights for now, who bush can only hope that his cross will be recognized for what it is making entertainments more accessible to a wide audience. regardless of language or culture from over just saw, i say that the power of language cannot be overstated. this fact isn't lost on this young point. it's in gonna not key at a 0.3 champion horse represented have country globally, is using how way with words to inspire young, environmental, active god. now, by the way, is grappling with severe before a station, especially around open areas like a crop, according to the global forest support. gonna last 18000 hector's of primary for

all of those use sign language like rosen, she was born deaf but known to communicate with her husband and children in a unique way. however, being unable to speak comes with a lot of challenges to. this is her story. rosalyn? oh, we know is a proud mother for yet when the yellow shell she never hears them. in fact, rosalind, he was nothing. despite the noise and narrow b, the rosalind grew up in the deaf community in costume, which even has its own sign language dialect. she met her husband julia as a door at the mosquitoes school for the day. one of the few education centers
