Learning so far, I have a deeper understanding of the connection between language and culture. Firstly, language is part of the culture. Like other cultural phenomenon, language is also a social phenomenon, it occurred with the production of society, and develops with the development of society. Language has all the attributes of culture, so language is also a kind of culture. The language is with nationality, different nationalities often have different language. It is the most important spiritual wealth of human society.
Secondly, language is the main carrier of the culture. Although language is a part of culture, other cultural phenomena generally cannot exist independently of language. Only through language can culture be preserved, continued and spread, just like the inheritance of history and the spread of religion.
Also, language is a mirror of culture. Language reflects a nation’s culture and reveals the contents of the national culture. Through a national language, people can understand the nation’s customs, lifestyles, ways of thinking and other features.
To improve my language communication skills, I think I can try to communicate with my friends who can speak Korean. Although it may be difficult to express ideas accurately because of a small vocabulary, it is a valuable opportunity to practice and correct pronunciation.
