Is good to know different language. A few of them even better. But sometimes, you just need to know few basic words, like “Hello”, “Bye” or “I love you”, “Please” and “Thank You”. While most of the world today is using English, as a universal way of communication, there are so many beautiful languages, worthy of knowing even a few words… some of them seems harder than the other ones. Some of them will use completely different alphabet, while most of the modern languages is based on the Latin Letters, so recognizable in most places all over the world. Many languages will have some strange looking letters, with small dots (over or under), small lines (over or under), or other markings. No worries here. As hard the language might be, there few basic words is always such a fun to learn and mastered. And trust me, even in the modern age of all of us speaking English daily, there is no better feeling, when you will say something in the native language of the person you are having the conversation with; the look on His or Her face is truly priceless. I love learning (as you know by now), and I love learning languages. I know few of them, and knowing even few words in next one, its always a treat. So, today I have decided to make you all a shortcut to some basic phrases and words, in some of the coolest languages. Let us begin and learn something new!
