Ooh good question. The USA? Or whatever country?
I say what ever country you want I am not sure though how much you could really get done with a day of power YOu would probably need more time
Cool. In that case... I'd improve a country by improving the education system, at least--I'd love to see lower grade levels teach languages the way they're taught at BYU, for True
That would be awesome!
My sister has a law degree... I'd probably have her draw up a bunch of laws and get them pushed through during that one day Right???
What do they do different that you would use?
Focus on immersion. The rules can come little by little, but they shouldn't be the basis.
I agree, I never liked learning all the rules. It wasnt good for conversation learning
Exactly,  and most people got bored by it and so stopped paying attention
So do you study language? Or know multiple?
Plus, when you actually use the language you feel like you know more, which gets you excited about using it Yep I know German and Danish I'm learning Arabic right now, which is so much fun
Wow Impressive
Thanks!
What got you interested in language
Hmmm
Are you going to study liguistics?
No, but I am a German major
Nice I tried to study a little dutch It was interesting
Oh cool That one's an interesting mix of English and Danish and German I've never tried to learn it though, the pronunciation seems really though Tough Was that at BYU?
No it was just on my own after doing a lot of service for an elderly dutch lady
Cool
Yeah so nothing to intense
My sister likes learning a bit of other languages My whole family loves language. My dad likes making multi-language jokes, some of which we don't get If you could learn any language, what would it be?
I really wish I could just speak spanish fluently Or chinese Well mandarin
Have you ever taken a foreign language class at BYU? They're really good. The 101 classes are usually 4 credits and pretty fast-paced, but basically everyone is starting with no prior knowledge of it
I havent just becuase they go every day and I havent been able to schedule that I might do it over the summer or spring sometime
That's a great time for it. Even though it's more fast-paced then, you don't have a bunch of other classes to worry about.
Yeah, I think it would be fun I have the basics of Spanish and Hmong but I want to keep learning them
Sometimes i wish i could just take all the languages, BYU has so many cool ones
It really does
Where do people speak Hmong?
I am impressed with people who know multiple langauges and keep it up Mountains of laos, thailand, china, california, minnisota
Cool! Did you learn the basics here?
I learned how to have basic converstaions from a friend, and how to read it
Nice
Conversation is hard because its tonal, it has 8 tones
Wow, at least Mandarin "only" has 4 then
Haha yeah
Wait,  or 3, i can't remember 
I got it down pretty quick in 3 months but i need to start studying it again
That's awesome Yeah, it disappears otherwise When you know it well enough, you can volunteer in the TRC at the MTC and keep up your language skills that way
Oh that is a long way off, but that is a good idea DO you do that with german?
I should! I keep up with it in other ways though, so it's okay. My sister lived in Spanish Foreign Language Housing for a semester to help her keep up her Spanish
That is way cool that you can do that! Nice
For a lot of the more popular languages, they have majors or minors That's part of how I've kept up my German I think there's a Spanish translation major too... might be wrong about that though
Nice Besides studying language What other things do you like to do?
Hiking The mountains here are amazing
Oh goodness yes they are What have been some of your favorite hikes
Stewart Falls and Big Springs:) what about yours?
I will have to try those out I havent done any in utah But Mt. Eddy or Castle Craggs in Northern California are good ones
Nice I haven't done much hikingo outside of Utah
I wan tto do more in utah, but I didnt have any friends who would take me
The Y is a must, even though it's not the prettiest hike
It is just so steep I think if I were to do it, it would be to summitt that mountain
Nice Yeah, it's pretty steep too
Yeah but if its gonna be steep its gotta be worth it! View wise
Very true! The Y trail continues to the top of the mountain, so you could do that
yeah that was the one I am considering
Or Squaw Peak; that one's up Rock Canyon and is really popular.  It's pretty steep too but has an amazing view
One day I will get to all of these
Just don't do it in the middle of a hot summer's day!
Haha yeah that would be bad Steep and hot
But definitely go on those hikes, they're really something.
I will ! THanks for the advice
