    Watch “Lost in Translation” by Janesh Rahlan. Then, answer the following questions.

    1. Do you agree with the statement, “You forget your language, you’ve forgotten your heritage”?
    Elaborate.

    Yes, I do agree in this statement because our culture involves language. We should not ever forget
    our native tongue because it will like we are forgetting where we come from. Our language expresses
    who we are and what nationality we belong to. And forgetting the language make us feel as we do not
    want to be in that country. When a language dies, a cultural heritage does as well. Language is much
    more than a device for communication. They hold irreplaceable cultural significance, ancestral
    memories, and heritage, unique knowledge, and traditions.

    2. How does learning a language help in establishing “intercultural connection” among people of
    different nationality?

    When you are learning a language, it is like you are learning the culture of that country, where you
    observe their religions, values, rituals, and practices, as well as the way they live, to gain a deeper
    understanding of them. As a result, once you have mastered the language, you will be able to
    communicate with people of various nationalities. For instance, suppose you go to Japan and learn
    their language. It is extremely beneficial to communicate with the people who live there, and this
    contributes to the establishment of an "Intercultural Bond." It is as if you are interacting with another
    country.

    3. How does one’s culture affect the meaning of its language?

    As I said earlier, when a language dies, a cultural heritage does as well. It is nearly impossible to
    separate the effects of language and culture on one another. A culture gives birth to a language. The
    language develops to express the culture. Culture influences the vocabulary used within a society's
    constraints, such as how some words are used to support the culture. Members of a particular culture
    interact with one another and form connections with one another through language. Others classify
    cultures by language, whether it is based on a geographical regional culture or a social culture based
    on ideology. The culture creates its own vocabulary, complete with characteristics, group body
    language, and voice accents.

    4. Is it possible to fully understand a language without first understanding the culture of its
    speaker? Why?

    No, it is not possible. When learning another nationality's language, you should understand their
    culture, values, religions, way of life, and rituals or customs. Knowing not just the language but also
    the history and customs of a country plays an important role in interacting. Since interacting with
    people of other nationalities in their own language without considering their values and cultures can
    lead to misunderstandings, and they may feel disrespected if you misinterpret them due to a lack of
    understanding of their cultures.
