language: any set or system of such symbols as used in a more or less uniform fashion by a number of people, who are thus enabled to communicate intelligibly with one another.

Out of all the 14 definitions of language at dictionary.com, this is probably my favourite one. in just one sentence, it has fully described what's the main essence of language. that's right, enabling people to communicate with one another. afterall, we are all fellow humans living in this world trying to understand our roles here, of course it's important to communicate with one another, even animals have to communicate to breed.

im actually glad that for people in totally different regions of the world, we have ENGLISH as a common language that can be used by us. however, there are still countries who take no importance in the education of english or even neglect the education of it. most of these countries are already poor, and the failure in efficient communication would also mean the low trades which results in low GDP. take some african countries for example, they have many resources in the world, but the people are lowly educated, and they often end up reaping their resources but selling it to the wrong people, or even smugglers at a much lower price. if they are educated, don't you think that they can communicate with others better and learn more about the real market value as well? people can also make use of one's weak language to brainwash or even wronged an innocent. most conflicts arises from miscommunication too, look how deadly and formidable communication can actually becomes.

i realize that after im just a nobody living in a small dot in this considerably small globe in our massive solar system which is just another galaxy in our ever-expanding universe. HAH! but let's not talk bout stars, let's talk bout the globe, we are just a small dot and i have yet to seen the bigger part of this world. there are definitely many places that i would like to go, experience their culture and soak in their lifestyles, however we are seperated by this language barrier. this invisble yet strong obstruction towards my learning and experience. language is a system that aids one and not to obstruct one. so why is it still called a LANGUAGE BARRIER? im determined to prove that there should not be any language barrier between 2 parties if they are willing to learn. it doesn't matter how long one can take in eliminating such a barrier, so long as we do not stop.

LANGUAGE SHOULD NEVER BE A BARRIER BETWEEN 2 FRIENDS FROM DIFFERENT PLACES IN COMMUNICATING AND LEARNING!!!
