Languages?
I speak 3 languages - English, Urdu, and French. I have heard that kids are very sensitive to learning 2 or more languages when they are born. It is very easy for them. I would like for my kids to speak all 3, but how do I go about teaching them, and how will they differentiate the 3 languages, instead of garbling them all together?
Every child is different, as well I speak three languages, well kind of English, Spanish and some french, my hubby speaks English, Spanish (but with a different accent that mine) and Italian and she is very exposed to all four languages we hope that she learns pretty good Spanish and English and some french and some Italian, the pediatrician told us that kids that are exposed to more than one language will take a little more time to actually speak a language, because all this time they will be absorbing these languages, so your baby will definitely learn the languages but is gonna take more time than the baby that is only learning one language, a friend of mine speaks Spanish and french and her husband who's from Belgium speaks french, English and Spanish, well one of their kids choose to speak french but she understands pretty well Spanish and the other the opposite.
Why Indonesian language seemsso different from other AsianLanguages?
Compared to other Asian languages, Indonesian seems very different. First of all, Indonesian uses Latin alphabet unlike many languages in Asia that use characters of their own (Chinese and Arabic for instance). In addition, a lot of Indonesian words come from other language making it more similar to a European language rather than an Asian language. Also I've heard that Indonesian is easier to learn rather than other Asian languages. Finally, Indonesian has fairly easy grammar. Why it is not similar to most Asian language?
i'm Indonesian and i'm proud to be different.. :) Thanx for noticing the differences, i believe every nation has their own uniqueness which cames from hundreds even thousands years of culture and historical revolution... so does Indonesian... Before a 350 years Dutch Colonialization, Indonesia was known as a trading nation... merchants and traders from all over the world came to Indonesia with their commodities and cultures... blending to the local merchant and rules through marriage, religion and cultural exchange.. most traders at that time was came from Arab, India, and China... some words in Indonesian are similar with those Nations language, for examples "Salam" in Indonesian has the same meaning with "Shalom" in Arabic/Hebrew, "Gede" in Indonesian has the same meaning with "Gedhe" in Hindi/Sansekrit. and many more.... then the Dutch came and started to trade with Indonesian, they've influenced the Indonesian a lot in Educational, Linguistic, Trades and Political view. the Dutch stays in Indonesia for 350 years, no wonder Indonesia adopts much European culture on its heritage... after the Dutch, the Japan Empire came for 3,5 years and influence the Indonesian in many ways like the Dutch and any other Nation earlier. by which influence which the Indonesian adopts, it doesn't necessary making the language easy to learn... since Indonesia is an Archipelago.. each island/province/perfekture has their own dialect and "slank" language... however in the diversity Indonesia has, still unity comes in a form of Bahasa Indonesia... good luck to you should you decided to learn Bahasa Indonesia...
What programming languagesshould a computer engineerknow?
My friend whom I never see anymore is a computer engineer out of NJIT and I just want to know what languages do you think one like him knows? Is there a certain language for beginners to start at and what usually comes next in line of languages to learn after? Thanks!
Any general purpose language will suit your needs. If your friend is a computer engineer he probably uses C and C++ to most things. C is a good language for doing low level functions and is therefore popular among EEs and Computer Engineers. C++ adds a little more abstraction and object orientation. There is no set path per say to learning programming languages. Most people start of with a general purpose language (such as C++ or Java) and then learn more languages as the need presents itself.
