WHY DANCING IS LIKE LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE...
1. One has got to know some words (steps)
2. One can easily manage if one know even a few words (steps)
3. But its better if one know more
4. And there's practically no limit to the total number of words (steps), they keep coming up like everyday
5. The process of learning a new language includes understanding the grammar (learning the steps), reading the literature (watching how others do it) and speaking it fluently (performing a dance)
6. There is no use of understanding the grammar and reading the literature if you are unable to speak it.
7. Regular practice is required for a couple of months, till fluency is achieved, but if not regularly practiced, can be forgotten.
8. There is no downside of learning a new language, it can come in handy anytime unexpected.
9. One can practice it alone, but doing it with a partner makes it more enjoyable and a good learning experience.
10. It is a great way to make new friends or to impress someone.
WHY DANCING IS NOT LIKE LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE...
1. The dance steps are not always the same for him and her.
2. One can appreciate a dance even without knowing anything about it beforehand.Labels: analogy, dance, language, self control |
