I simply loved your video. I'm already studying English 2 years and I consider myself fluent, that's why I decided start studying Spanish 6 months ago. When I was 17 years old I was listening a lot of musics in English and translating it to Portuguese in order to understand the lyrics. After some years I've heard some teachers saying that music doesn't help so much in order to achieve a good level of English, but in my experience and with your videos I found out that study English through music was one of the best choices I already did. I'm so lucky!
I think, it is right and I personally listen to music in a lot of languages and speak multiple languages, and the risk of forgetting language is much lower! But music should be combined with another resources like people, different materials in the target language, I don't think that only music itself will lead to high level even when listened actively =)
I'm all for a translation tool to convert the written languages to one universal language. Then everyone can speak the same language and have better communication from here on out.
thats not the case with me . i speak berber arabic frensh and english, i work since 6 years in u.s. and nobody raised my salary because i knew 4 languages or promoted me .
Well, you're wrong in regards to the people of Brazil being considered Indigenous. They have given up their Tribal Sovereignty for the last 500 years and have only spoken European tongues. I agree with the concept but I don't know why you're trying to be inclusive of Latinos as endangered people when they're not.
As stated in the presentation, Ladino is being kept alive via music. Many of those singing in Ladino are Ladino speakers themselves. It is not a colonial endeavor to learn another person's language and preserve it. These linguistic preservation efforts are done in conjunction with local communities or else they wouldn't be successful.

Well, Because its not your language your not going to want to save itZ Only those who actually care will try x x
Shouldn't these languages be preserved for those who were born into the culture instead of outsiders? Smells of colonialism.
