Learn a little something... Italian.

Ciao Bella, or hey pretty!

Did you know that the country of Italy is shaped like a boot. I suppose there is a reason they are known for their fine shoes and the Milan fashion district.

Let us depict this graphic really quickly...

Did you know Italy is one of the European Union's peninsulas, which means a majority of its land is surrounded by a water. There are incredible coastal regions, boating and fishing in Italy.

Tourism for Italy's architecture is a major attraction, which is why we have incorporated the Roman Coliseum and the Liening Tower of Piza... you know because not all good things are straight. ;D.

Interestingly enough the Alps mountainous region ventures through 8 Countries, Italy, included. Alongside Monaco, France, Switzerland, Italy Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia.

Fun fact, Italy has aerospace engineering and manufacturing capabilities too. Frankly it's only fitting with Italy's engineering capabilities. Historically, Italy has been known for many of what we'd call Luxury cars, i.e., Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo Etc. These Italian cars are well known for their cutting-edge designs, aero dynamics and style.

All together we presented just a few of the many things we could learn from Italy in our graphic. So, ciao to our European Neighbors and all we've had to gain from their culture.

They say when you are full of love, it comes pouring out into those around you. Hense the reason why I wanted to share something I love with each of you. In 2022, I took a trip that led me to Italy. During my time in Italy, I learned just a bit more about the many things that make Italy to be as beautiful as it is. I wanted to share the beauty I had experienced with you.

This line of work leaves me so full of love, I make it a part of my life's mission to share what I can. I hope that between our positive experience, our knowledge and our game, we create a community to help you learn as well and prepare you for your present and future.

Regardless of the intent,

We hope you learned something Italian today.

Our Progress....

So, us 90's babies, how does life feel? We've lived through a lot haven't we. To think ~20+ years ago we were sitting in elementary school, surrounded by large social structures, we were sponges, looking to our teachers for guidance and answers... and here we are, teachers now. Whether we are leaders in our fields, actual teachers, parents, aunts and uncles, coaches, or just living in society - we are steering the ship.

When we think about putting our hands on the next generations of life, the next generation of leaders, who do we want them to be, what do we wish to leave behind. I don't know about you, but I am hoping to leave behind a smarter, and more communicative generation. Like the representation of America, we strive to develop an educated and cultured generation, an adventurous generation, people who aren't afraid to learn from the world.

Think about it this way, we've had an opportunity to learn from the best. From a young age we've seen the greats turn mail to I.M.'s and emails. We've watched cells surface which led to portable calls, texts, facetimes and now we could see Augmented Realities - digitized social medias and graphically designed worlds. In other words, we've seen real people bring amazing, beneficial ideas to life. We've felt the impact of technology grow around us.

It is real people everywhere everyday taking their days by the hands and building a world the wish to see. At Boober Company we are no different. I've seen us grow; I've seen us work to get to where we are.

Here's our new - this year we've been passed up on 3 funding opportunities (Big L for them, right?). - but we aren't going anywhere. We're not done fighting, we're strong enough to carve our paths. The truth is we don't always win every battle, but we get up and keep going because at the end of the day our next generation will be better of being able to speak multiple languages and gaining confidence in travel and connectivity.

The truth is we've had 31 orders of magnitude, we've experienced old friends as supporters our common vision. We've had what were strangers and now supporters join our goals in building this game. The truth is we've come a long way and have a long way to go. So, thanks for having faith in us - because we won't let you down.

Let us share the progress we've made so far without external funding. We've made our French and Spanish Prototypes. We've targeted graphics covering the 4 Romances Languages Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese plus two others Hawaiian and Japanese because both cultures are truly dear to my heart. <3

The Incredible Benefits of Language Learning: Expanding Horizons and Transforming Minds

Introduction:

In a world where globalization and interconnectedness reign supreme, language learning has become an invaluable skill that opens doors to limitless opportunities. Beyond the ability to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds, acquiring a new language can positively impact various aspects of our lives. In this blog, we will explore the extraordinary benefits of language learning and delve into how this pursuit enriches our personal, professional, and cognitive experiences.

**1. Cultural Awareness and Empathy:

Language is a gateway to understanding culture and its nuances. When we learn a new language, we immerse ourselves in the customs, traditions, and values of the people who speak it. This exposure fosters cultural awareness, promoting tolerance, empathy, and respect for diversity. As we grasp the intricacies of different languages, we develop a deeper appreciation for the richness of global heritage, breaking down barriers and building bridges between individuals and communities.

2. Enhanced Cognitive Abilities:

Studies have consistently shown that language learning can significantly improve cognitive functions. The brain's plasticity is enhanced as we navigate the complexities of a new language, strengthening memory, problem-solving skills, and overall mental agility. Bilingual individuals often demonstrate greater creativity, adaptability, and multitasking abilities, making language learning a powerful tool for keeping our minds sharp and agile throughout life.

3. Career Advancement:

In an increasingly competitive job market, language skills can give you a competitive edge. Many companies operate on an international scale, seeking employees who can communicate with clients and partners from different linguistic backgrounds. Whether you aspire to work in diplomacy, business, tourism, or any other field, fluency in multiple languages can significantly boost your employability and open doors to exciting global opportunities.

4. Personal Growth and Confidence:

Embarking on the journey of language learning requires determination and resilience. As you make progress and achieve milestones, your confidence soars. Learning a new language stretches your comfort zone, pushing you to take risks, and equipping you with the belief that you can conquer new challenges. This newfound confidence often extends to other areas of life, promoting personal growth and a willingness to embrace change and continuous learning.

5. Broadening Your World:

Language learning offers a profound sense of empowerment. Suddenly, you gain access to a whole new world of literature, music, films, and art, hitherto unavailable to you. You can directly connect with the thoughts and ideas of people from different walks of life, enriching your understanding of the human experience. Moreover, traveling to countries where your newly acquired language is spoken becomes a far more immersive and rewarding experience, enabling genuine interactions with locals.

6. Improved First Language Skills:

Paradoxically, learning a new language can strengthen your grasp of your native tongue. As you become aware of grammar structures, idiomatic expressions, and language mechanics, you develop a deeper understanding of language as a whole. This newfound awareness often leads to improved writing, speaking, and listening skills in your primary language, making you a more effective communicator overall.

7. Building Lifelong Relationships:

Language learning brings people together. By engaging with language enthusiasts and native speakers, you establish meaningful connections that transcend borders. Language exchange programs and online language communities provide ample opportunities to form lifelong relationships, whether platonic, professional or romantic, with people from different backgrounds, fostering a sense of global camaraderie and unity.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the benefits of language learning extend far beyond mere linguistic proficiency. The endeavor to learn a new language opens doors to a world of understanding, empathy, and personal growth. It shapes our cognitive abilities, enriches our cultural awareness, and enhances our professional prospects. Language learning is a powerful tool that transforms minds, broadens horizons, and brings people closer together in an increasingly interconnected world. So, why wait? Dive into the rich tapestry of languages and experience the endless possibilities it offers. Happy learning!
