Language

by Harshita Das aged 14

Talent is an understanding
an intuitive knowledge of how things work
a Native speaker of a language
who simply knows, understands, without being told

But not everybody has talent
some have to be painstakingly taught
slowly, but gradually, we learn the grammar, the rules
the wisdom to understand, the courage to speak
We Hear, we Talk and we Learn
to Draw, to Write, to Sing
They’re all languages
the geniuses may intuitively understand them
But we can be taught,

    You’re getting to be so good I’m getting a little nervous about whether I should correct your use of capital letters or not.

      Aw, thank you 🙂 I couldn’t have come this far without your encouragements. Now grammar rules are a mere formality.
