My First Blog - Oakeley Mellish
-Language does not play a huge role in my life because of the fact that it has never been a requirement for me to learn another language. When i was brought up in Australia and England, two english speaking countries, i never encountered the chance to learn a new language. When i moved to UAE 5 years ago i started learning Arabic and French but i have still not even caught on to those languages yet. I have started learning Spanish this year, and i am predicting i will not take that any further than i need to for school either.
-Culture depends on your surroundings as you are growing up and how your parents or guardians chose to bring you up. Culture can be a fairly big part of who you are in some cases, but for other people it is simply a factor of who you are.
-I do not associate myself with any cultures and i dont really believe in much either, one thing i am proud to tell people is that i am Australian and i feel like i am a pretty good representation of someone who follows Australian culture just by the way i act and i live my life, by cooking barbecues and playing rugby.
-I havent ever experienced and culture boundaries in my life simply because i live in Abu Dhabi where it is perfectly normal to be from just about anywhere in the world, this is good because it makes you more of an open minded person.
