What Is a Language Hub?

A typical textbook definition of a language hub is as follows:

“A language hub typically refers to a central location or platform that serves as a resource for various aspects of a particular language. It might include tools, materials, courses, and information to help people learn, study, or improve their proficiency in that language.”

But, in order to learn a language, one should understand its usage, its deeper influence, and the significance of language, which matters a lot, but unfortunately, these aspects are often overlooked. Let’s take an overview of the domains where language has a strong influence.

1.??? Transmitting knowledge & information

2.??? Redefining Culture

3.??? Shaping up Individuality

4.??? Forging ideas

And a lot more…

Considering the widespread presence of English language, understanding English through a language hub’s perspective, would serve as a beacon to guide through the globalized world.

How does language influence Culture?

Most of us might wonder, as how can a language serve as a potential catalyst in change of culture, it might sometimes feel difficult to get convinced. Because, language as we speak, is typically considered as a tool to transmit information.

It is fundamentally true, pragmatically we use language as a tool to communicate information, but what we forget is that every single language has its cultural roots in the words, phrases, nuances & its usage as well, and sometimes a lifestyle or culture itself is popularized by coining a new term for it, alongside its continuous usage.

Let’s understand through a simple example:

The concept of “dating” had no specific lingo or a word in some of the native languages, because that culture is typically not popular in India, or Asian countries and indeed has its roots in western countries.

But right now, arguably one of the reasons is because of the usage of the term- “dating” that popularized the concept in itself.

It never stopped there, but opened up a gateway for software industry to develop apps and fill up their pockets, eventually by changing people’s lives and culture of an entire society.

There are various such examples, such as; “café-hopping”, “movie-buff”, “binge-watching” and many more.

This is one easier way to relate, to the influential level of English language in unprecedented domains, and can even become a game changer to earn money, cultivate a lifestyle, and also widen our perspectives.

The idea, that language as a concept, can become a catalyst to multiple endeavors, not only to compliment one’s own personality but indeed as a tool to make revenue, and it helps a lot to build impressive relationships.

If English language is learned with a broader perspective, much like if it’s an art, then learning would be a wonderful and creative experience.
