All the kids are learning different languages. I asked them what languages they wanted to learn, and Shi is learning Khmai, which is a Cambodian language; Pax is focusing on Vietnamese, Mad has taken to German and Russian, Z is speaking French, Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic, and Knox is learning sign language.

Angelina Jolie

I've had the privilege of learning foreign languages. Instead of merely speaking a watered-down form of my mother tongue, like most people, I'm also helpless in two or three other languages.

I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. A school curriculum that values questions above answers...creativity above fact regurgitation...individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance..... And we must reject all notions of 'reform' that serve up more of the same: more testing, more 'standards', more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy.

I loved languages, and loved learning languages. It was fantastic. But I was alone there. I remember that time as a real Virginia Woolf time. More than any language it was her language that influenced me.

Lily King

Well, maybe so, although I don't think I am particularly gifted in languages. In fact, oddly enough, it may have something to do with my being slow at languages.

Robert Fitzgerald

It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.

Michael Gove

Even if people are suspicious of the motives I think that learning and speaking two languages can only be a good thing for people.

Stephen Harper

The globalized environment where speaking a lot of languages is rewarded and getting access to learning materials is easier. A talent for massive language learning has not been supported by the environment until very recently, so this is a phenomenon that is going to become more common and more visible.

Michael Erard

I can read more languages than I speak! I speak French and Italian - not very well, alas, but I can get by. I read German and Spanish. I can read Latin (I did a lot of Latin at school.) I'm afraid I do not speak any African languages, although I can understand a little bit of the Zulu-related languages, but only a tiny bit.

Alexander McCall Smith

People who speak different languages, they are watching the movie from our language. So, I think all of us should be proud as nation and as cinema lovers.

Anushka Sharma

I travel like a maniac. I travel more than anyone I know. I love learning the languages.

Quincy Jones

Previously, we might use machine learning in a few sub-components of a system. Now we actually use machine learning to replace entire sets of systems, rather than trying to make a better machine learning model for each of the pieces.

Jeff Dean

I've never been in any country for more than four years, and I'm learning different languages all the time. It gives you a different attitude.

Santiago Cabrera

More good code has been written in languages denounced as "bad'' than in languages proclaimed "wonderful'' - much more.

Bjarne Stroustrup

There are more useful systems developed in languages deemed awful than in languages praised for being beautiful - many more.

Bjarne Stroustrup

Languages like English, Spanish, and Chinese are healthy languages. They exist in spoken, written, and signed forms, and they're used by hundreds of millions of people all over the world. But most of the 6,000 or so of the world's languages aren't in such a healthy state.
