Animal sounds in other languages

Blog #1
I have never thought about how closely related language really is. I always thought that it was difficult to learn any language. Growing up I always saw language as totally different one from another. I'm an English learner and yes, I saw some similarities with Spanish, but never even thought about possible similarities that can exist with other languages. After reading, "Animal sounds in other languages," my view on language is wider. I seemed to understand that different cultures are united through communication. For example, what one word means in one language can often mean the same or sound the same in another language. It seems to me that words are shared among languages. For example, in English a cow lowing is moo. In other languages it is exactly the same or similar pronunciation. We are all connected through language.
