A language is like a popular kid in school, it becomes influential when lots of people use it and learn from it. When people start using words from another language, like saying ‘hello’ or ‘thanks,’ that other language becomes more powerful. It’s kind of like when your favorite song starts being played everywhere, suddenly, everyone knows the lyrics!
Examples
- A lot of people use English in movies, so it becomes more influential.
- Kids learn to say ‘hello’ from their favorite cartoon character, that’s how languages become popular.
- You might start saying ‘thanks’ even if you don’t understand the word.
