Step beyond the boundaries of your mother tongue!
„The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.“ Ludwig Wittgenstein, who influenced 20th-century philosophy with his life and work, once said that. In the 21st century, learning a foreign language has become a matter of course. The mother tongue alone is not even half the way.
We are even living in an era in which English is no longer perceived as a foreign language. Anyone who cannot speak English nowadays even feels alienated at home in their own country. People who only know their mother tongue experience clear exclusion in everyday life and have to make do with a life in a small and lonely world.
English has now become the “mother tongue” of the whole world
What is even more terrifying is that English has meanwhile established itself as the „mother tongue“ of the entire world. Anyone who does not know this language can no longer understand the world either. In that sense, English is a language that helps us to survive. It is true that with this language we can communicate all over the world. However, we cannot truly understand the world just because we know English.
Today, we gain many more new perspectives and inspirations through other languages. Above all, languages that seem unusual to us can open doors to other worlds and understandings. For example, those who know Turkish, Portuguese or Russian expand the boundaries of their world.
Language course in Basel: For personal and economic success
Learning a language can even fundamentally change our view of life, death and our place in the universe. For many people who are searching for meaning, learning a language can therefore be a great help. In these worlds we have the opportunity to discover countless pieces of wisdom that have not yet been translated into English.
Learning a foreign language does not only allow you to meet great people or cultures. Foreign language skills are a huge help in expanding economically. The same therefore applies to companies. Managing directors can turn their foreign language skills into money by operating in places that are completely unknown to their compatriots.
