ESL004: i would rather be able to talk to the animals than be able to speak all human languages | Saylor Academy

i prefer this option because i'd love to talk to my beloved pets and know what they think about everything
i'd chat with them all day long
and also because no one in the world has the ability to make animals speak complex words and ideas
this would be my exclusive skill and i would be the most requested person in the world on this subject

thanks maicão saylor for this amazing free english online course!
