I have been told that when I speak greek, I speak louder and tend to come accross slightly aggresive, also l tend to use my hands a lot when speaking greek, where as in english l don't. ( greek people are generally quite loud, and l think it's often a case of "he who speaks loudest, shall be heard" ) So, is it the language or just the enviroment, or perhaps a bit of both. Debbie |

Yo mas gesticular cuando hablando en Español con mi vecino de al lado. Encogerse de hombros y mi mano señals tambien.
( I gesticulate more when I am speaking with my Spanish next door neighboroughs. Shrug my shoulders and also hand signals). We may not speak the same language but we eventually understand each other !! Ruby |

Las personas que hablan otros idiomas además de su lengua materna, no es que cambien, es que aprenden a pensar de otra manera; aprender otro idioma implica aprender otra lógica. Creo que es por eso que comienzan a comprender no sólo a las personas, sino también sus culturas y sus maneras de vivir, lo que hace más difíciles los odios viscerales que tanto nos han caracterizado en Europa. Pienso que no hay nada que una más que hablar una misma lengua y creo que tampoco hay nada que más separe que hablar lenguas diferentes.

I think I don't change when I'm speaking another language, not even my voice or my gestures (or maybe I do ). But when I'm watching an English program at TV I increase the TV volume.

In Spanish I can say "no creo que cambie" and "creo que no cambio".
Maybe somebody should tell me if I change my waves |

Like I said earlier, learning another language is one sure way of widening our horizon which in turn helps us to be more acommodating and flexible.

Hi Jane
Additionally in the case of studying Spanish for English speakers: studying Spanish greatly improves our English vocabulary and it turns us all into amateur etimologists Mi experiencia en el otro lado del mar es que hay muy pocos hispanos que no quieren aprender el inglés evidentamente por necesidad. En España esa misma necesidad no existe.
