The show focused mainly on the English language and it’s usefulness. The skit started the discussion. It was about a man who only knew the word ‘I’ but eventually progressed to “I love”. The skit highlighted the challenges faced by individuals trying to learn a new language. One way to improve your language skills is by reading, listening to indigenous language radio programmes and/or watching programmes in indigenous languages.
There are a number of advantages and disadvantages of knowing more than one language, particularly in South Africa where we have eleven official languages. A case in point is our diverse national anthem, which has verses in English, Afrikaans, Sesotho and IsiXhosa.
