If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

Both islands are far from Florida and Japan, but I would like to go…✈✈✈

Easter Island

Easter Island is located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. Many tourists visit to see ancient monumental statues which are well-known as Moai. Until 1722, this island was the mainland for the Rapa Nui people. These monumental statues are local inhabitants’ symbols.

Iceland

I love languages (I am a linguist). The Icelandic language is one of my interests.

Do you know what the Icelandic language sounds like? 

According to this video, the Icelandic language is different from other Scandinavian languages.

〇こんにちは(Japanese)

〇안녕하세요(Korean)

〇你好(Chinese)

My native language is Japanese. The Japanese language is also different from other Asian languages. Some researchers say that Japanese is part of Korean or Chinese language families.

In my opinion, the standard Japanese language is part of the Japonic languages and doesn’t belong to other language families. The closest language could be Korean, not Chinese… Japanese and Chinese are similar in the written system, but the basic word order is different (Japanese and Korean are Subject + Object + Verb, but Chinese is Subject + Verb + Object).

By the way, I started studying Spanish again. I studied it before, but I forgot.😅

In the world, there are over 7000 languages.😊
