  1. I would rather speak every language than speak to animals, because i need to speak other language so i can speak to my ansesters and also if i speak every language that basicly means that i can speak to animals because speaking to animals is a language and a way this can affect my life is because then i could be able to under stand my family and talk my friends that speak spanish.

Overall, speaking every language is better for me because you can go around the world without the difficulty of having to learn new languages for months and months.
