Essay  «You are the greatness of my folk, the boundless fields of his soul»

"Man is so many times man how many languages he knows".

         To begin with, it should be mentioned that studying English has already become an inseparable part of my life. I am sure this language is like a "lucky ticket" to my future life. But as we know, every country has its nation and every nation has its language. I live in a very beautiful country named “Sunny Buryatia”. Buryatia is my motherland. There are many different languages that are spoken by a lot of nations in our country. One of them is Buryat language. It's a state language of Buryatia. Language is not just a spiritual wealth of nation, but it's also the most important source of communication. People communicate with each other mainly with a help of language. Buryat language has its own history. Some years ago Buryat people were not allowed to speak in their native language. But fortunately, nowadays, it is developing every day. Our government does everything in order to make our language popular in all over the world. It pays much attention for learning state language. There are many educational language centers in our country where people of all nations can learn language. Many people and the  teachers  in our Buryat gymnasium are doing a lot for developing of our language and country. We are given a lot of opportunities to learn it. And no matter what is your nation, if you live in Buryatia you are in need to speak in Buryat  language. It is compulsory for all people living here. They say that the power of country is in its language, so the prosperity and development of Buryatia depend on a state language. So if you want to live in a happy country do your best for it.

       I am glad to share my own experience of learning English with you. If you ask me why I have decided to study my native Buryat language, I would give you the following reasons. First of all, it will certainly help me to get a well – Language is a symbol of the homeland, mother and father and faraway ancestors. The language also symbolizes the home.

       Moreover, the ability of speaking Buryat helps to develop their inside soul culture,  friendship and mutual understanding. For instance, studying Buryat  gives me a brilliant opportunity to communicate with people and make friends while travelling about different districts in our Republic even if I don’t speak in their native dialects. This is the main reason why I learn our language. Actually, there is one more saying I fully agree to: "Man is so many times man how many languages he knows". I find it necessary never to give up studying many languages and not only Russian, Buryat,  English, but also German, because it is a widely spread language as well. The mother language of  Roentgen, Diesel, Goethe  etc.

       Besides, it is also music that makes me study the Buryat language. When I listen to songs, lyrics are as important for me as the music itself. It has already become my hobby to make out words in Buryat songs. While listening to different songs I learn a great number of  Buryat words, idioms and useful expressions; get to know different people`s /stories about love, friendship, art and nature. Thus, I face different cultures, national peculiarities, social ideas and historic facts. Such activity broadens my cultural horizons.

         People often equate language and nation. And they say that language is the wealth of a nation, which in no event it is impossible to lose or lose. And if language will disappear from the face of the Earth, and people will disappear too. Why? Because it is not only set of expressions and words that serves for the communication of people. But it is a very important thing that unites people of one nation. With it, people don't just communicate. It means all native, close, well known. Language is a symbol of the homeland, mother and father and faraway ancestors. The language also symbolizes the home and warmth of the heart. It is a treasure trove of folk humor, folk wisdom and experiences of many people. All the  words are stored in the history of the people. Because each new word, when it appears in the language, means a part of the lives of the people. Together, they form a beautiful mosaic. Language  is the mirrow of any folk, it is like the cement that holds the wall in common people's House. And if people'll  stop being interested in their mother language, their common home'll fall apart.

          It would be unfair not to mention the place where I study Buryat language, so intensely and where I am getting the most profound knowledge of the language. Obviously, it is my school. It is called Buryat Gymnasia № 29 and it is specialized in foreign languages. Fortunately, my teacher are an experienced specialists.  They a lot of different techniques of teaching Buryat. They take part in all modern teacher competitions. Another great opportunity to speak Buryat  is to attend our School Linguistic Camp on the Lake Baikal this summer. We communicate with Mongiolian pupils not only for the educational purpose, but also to learn more about their country, customs and traditions and also their culture and traditional food, holidaysand what not. In our turn, we tell them many interesting facts about Buryatia, read  books and newspapers , learn Buryat songs, dance “Yochor “ , show local museums and sightseeings.  

       To sum it up, I should say that the more I use Buryath language, the deeper I take to it. I use every single opportunity to enlarge my knowledge both inside and outside the classroom. I appreciate people who help me do it. Thanks to them I am getting a better idea how to shape my future, and how to achieve greater success in my life. I strongly believe, my native language  for me is not just the only tool of achieving success but it is my “second nature”, to be exact. My hopes and dreams are connected to Buryat language; it is my inexhaustible source of inspiration.

     My Buryat language - You are the greatness of my folk, the boundless fields of his soul!
