LINGUISTICS FOR ME!

Well, to talk about linguistics is not easy because there are many terms, concepts and authors that have already done studies about it, and after reading a little bit about Linguistics I realized that I was not even close to  what the word LINGUISTICS involved, but what I know in this moment is that I would like to be a linguist as Crystal. D. (2009) mention in his book "To be a linguist doesn't mean to learn lots of foreign languages like Harold Williams did,  who knew 58 languages, but it does mean to be interested in all of them".  So, I would like to do that to be interested in many foreign languages; by now I have just interested in three languages English, French and Spanish but there are other languages such as Italian, Russian  and Portuguese that I would like to know, and study at least a little bit.

The really important is that when I took the seminar of LINGUISTICS in the second semester of the FOREIGN LANGUAGES PROGRAM, I did not like it, maybe because the teacher showed us the subject as something complicated and boring, but now after listening to Professor Alberto Fajardo, and after reading and understanding more about Linguistics I have changed my mind, and now I feel like reading and searching more information in order to be more literated in this subject.

 I do not know if I was the only one who got that feeling for the Linguistics but I feel better because for the first time in my life when I think about Linguistics I want to know more and I do not feel scared ,not anymore.
