Is language a barrier or a bridge? Grant Cho explores the challenges and importance and role of language in communication, culture and indentity.

Grant plays the violin in CSUN’s Youth Philharmonic and Westlake’s Chamber Orchestra. He also speaks three languages - Korean, English, and Chinese.

Absolutely phenomenal - I've learned some korean and I'm taking a linguistics class to learn more about the fundamentals of language as a whole. This is one of the talks we're urged to watch and I'm glad I did. There's nothing more fulfilling than speaking someone else's native language and seeing their face beam. “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” - Nelson Mandela

Language is very important to all of us especially, in our society because we all know language is not a barrier and they to have more understanding about the culture and to make it easier to communicate with each other whether your language we speak are different but most of the language is change in our society and own perspectives of ourselves because it's really help you to become relate in our global community.

I wholeheartedly agree!!! I am currently trying to learn Japanese and Mandarin. Language does really help you to connect. I was adopted from Taiwan, so learning Chinese is something that helps me reconnect to the culture I never knew. Also, my dad works at a radio station that broadcasts in many different languages. The station my dad works at specifically targets the Asia region. There are so many individual dialects of a language!!! One of the stations goal is to reached unreached people groups, and broadcast in their native tongue. They get to hear something on the radio, that they don't even get to hear outside their community!!! Language is just such a beautiful thing! Thank you for the talk. It has really encouraged me to keep working hard at learning different languages. Also in the bio I saw you play violin! That is super awesome! I have been playing the flute for 6 years now. I think music is also another way to connect people! The band I'm in hosted a band from Japan, and we got to play with them. (I also got to use my very poor Japanese XD) Many my group couldn't speak much of any Japanese, and they couldn't speak much English, but we all tried and had fun!!! And we all got to bond over music. It was truely an amazing thing.
