The language that I have chosen for reflective essay number 3 is French. The reason behind it is because during middle school, high school, and my first years in college I took French and I loved it. They say that French is the language of love but I want to know what else they say or even if it is true. Of course I expect to find that not only in France do they speak french, so I would want to know where else besides Canada do they speak French.

The language that i chosen to write about is Japanese. The reason why i chose it is because I hear it on a daily basis and I’m interested in learning more about the dialects in Japan. While researching, I found a dialect called Tohoku that is located in the north-eastern part of Japan. Tohoku is a dying dialect due to the fact that Tokyo Japanese, a more popular way of speaking Japanese, is spreading due to the influence of television shows hosted in Tokyo.

The language I chose is Brazilian Portuguese in Brazil. The reason I chose Portuguese is because it sounds very similar to Spanish and I’ve always been interested in learning it. I will focus on the difference between Brazilian Portuguese and Creole Portuguese.

The dialect that I decided to write about is the Gyeonggi dialect from the Korean language. I’ve always found the Korean language interesting and that’s why I decided to focus on Gyeonggi, which is one of the most prestigious dialects from north Korea.

The language/dialect I chose is Haitian Creole. I decided to choose this dialect because though one side of my family speaks it, I was never taught to. I’m expecting to learn about the various different versions of creole, where else it spoken and the similarities/differences between them.
