“Any language is a supreme achievement of a uniquely human collective genius, as divine and endless a mystery as a living organism.”
― Steven Pinker, The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language
Points to be noted here, my ladies and lords are any and every language is a uniquely human collective genius, and we as living organisms are born with this mysterious, eternal, and marvellous gift of learning any and every language to get connected and communicate with, and thus, understood by fellow human beings.
Yet some homo sapiens use this gift to spread miscommunication, discord, hatred, and the worst crime of division, hostility and enmity based on languages. How unwise of them? Alas!
Anyway, according to Ethnologue – the best authority on languages – officially, there are over seven thousand languages in the entire world. Again, after including many unrecognised languages in all the countries in the world, the unofficial number might be ten times the official number. Because as per the Indian Census report, 2018, there are over 19,500 dialects or languages spoken as mother tongues in India alone.
The point here is the difference in languages is the most incredible human legacy that truly defines the human heritage of wisdom. Simply, it is the inherited distinction that makes us homo sapiens.
Nitisha Sharma, the Co-founder of Crisscross Lingo and a qualified Mandarin and Spanish Language Trainer, feels the same. She is equally supported in this feeling by Meghna Shah, the Co–founder, and Qualified French & Mandarin Trainer. Meghna, from Mumbai, is an M. Com graduate and DIM in HR. Meghna has a passion for teaching and networking, with twenty years of teaching experience at Nirma University and GNLU.
Furthermore, at Crisscross Lingo, Nitisha and Meghna believe that living a fast-paced life involves changes, new ways of doing things and the constant adoption of communication skills. To achieve this, language is a must.
In an interview with Insights Success for its edition of ‘The Women Owning the Business Arena,’ Nitisha further said, “We teach languages like Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish through fun learning activities and not-in rot learning. Our Prime focus is building confidence as it is paramount to learning anything new. We believe that there is no age bar in learning a new language.”
