14. Do you agree with the following statements? Prove it.

1) Having mastered one foreign language, second and subsequent ones can be learned with much less pain and effort.

2) Esperanto (an artificial language invented in 1887 by L. L. Zamenhof, a Polish physician and philologist, and intended for international use which is based on word roots common to the major European languages.) should be taught in more places.

3) Any language is divided up into so many different components - one cannot be equally good in all of them. Having a boy/girl friend or spouse who speaks another language does not automatically mean that you will learn it quicker.
