Are You a Linguist?
As I see it, everyone is a potential linguist. By that, I mean that everyone can be fluent in another language. You do not have to be an intellectual or an academic. After all, a linguist is defined by the Concise Oxford Dictionary in very simple terms:
Linguist: n. Person skilled in foreign languages.
Even speaking one foreign language qualifies a person as a linguist.
To become a linguist is a matter of choice, and requires a certain state of mind. A linguist enjoys foreign languages and appreciates the different ways that ideas are organized and
expressed in different cultures. A linguist is at ease with people of another language and confident when learning new languages.
The first step towards becoming a linguist, towards learning a second language, is to realize that success depends not on the teacher but on the learner. Each learner must discover the language gradually in his or her own way. The teacher can only stimulate and inspire. Enrolling in a language school or taking a course will not ensure fluency. If the learner does not accept
this simple fact, time and money spent on language programs will be wasted. Language schools and language learning systems may teach, but only the learner can learn. | Translation - Spanish
¿Es usted un lingüista?
Desde mi punto de vista, todos somos lingüistas potenciales. Con esto quiero decir que todos podemos hablar otro idioma con fluidez. No se necesita ser un intelectual o un académico. Después de todo, el Concise Oxford Dictionary define linguist en términos muy sencillos.
Linguist: n. Person skilled in foreign languages (persona experta en idiomas extranjeros)
Hablar tan sólo una lengua extranjera convierte a una persona en lingüista. Ser un lingüista es una cuestión de elección y requiere determinación. Un lingüista disfruta de las lenguas extranjeras y aprecia las distintas formas en que se organizan y expresan las ideas en las distintas culturas. Un lingüista se siente a gusto con gente que habla otras lenguas y seguro al aprender nuevas lenguas.
El primer paso para convertirse en lingüista, para aprender un segundo idioma, es ser consciente de que el éxito no depende del maestro sino del estudiante. Cada estudiante debe descubrir la lengua gradualmente y a su manera. El maestro sólo puede estimular e inspirar. Inscribirse en una escuela de idiomas o tomar un curso no garantiza la fluidez. Si el estudiante no acepta este simple hecho, el tiempo y el dinero invertidos en programas de idiomas serán desperdiciados. Las escuelas de idiomas y los sistemas de aprendizaje de idiomas pueden enseñar, pero sólo el estudiante puede aprender.

ALEJANDRA REPETTO ESCARDÓ
Nace el 11 de Septiembre de 1960 en Buenos Aires, Argentina
Su obra surge desde la observación de los cielos en los cuadros de Turner y Friederick. Al estudiar los espacios negativos aparece el tema del vacío como unidad conceptual. Pasa al estudio del concepto oriental del vacío como elemento totalizador y energético, punto de vista opuesto al occidental donde vacío significa "nada". Conoce la obra de Zao Wou Ki a quien adopta como maestro. Complementa sus estudios orientales con el estudio de caligrafía china arcaica, con la artista plástica Chiu Tai Li radicada en Bs.As.
La artista sustenta la idea de una pintura abstracta como reacción al "horror vacui" especialmente siendo protagonistas de una cultura desbordada de elementos visuales. Para ella el arte debe conducir a la contemplación y a la reflexión.
Profesora Nacional de Pintura egresada de La Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes "Prilidiano Pueyrredón" actualmente cursa la Licenciatura en Artes Visuales en el Instituto Universitario de Arte (I.U.N.A.) . Egresada de la "Escuela Superior de Publicidad"de la Asociación Argentina de Profesionales Publicitarios. Expone desde 1993 en instituciones privadas y oficiales. Participa en el Salón Nacional de la Mujer, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Plata; Fundación Amuchastegui Luque, Córdoba, Distinción de Honor, Dibujo, 1999. Salón Fotográfico American Express, Centro Cultural Recoleta, 2001. Salón Primavera de Pintura, Galería Loft Espacio Alfa y Artística Dibu, 1er Premio; Centro Cultural Borges, Expotrastienda II; Galería Praxis de Buenos Aires, 2002.

Alejandra Repetto Escardó was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on September 11th, 1960.
Her works arise from watching the heavens in Turner and Friederick's paintings.
It is during that process of studying negative spaces, that the subject of emptiness as a conceptual unit comes up. She moves onto the study of the eastern concept of emptiness as a totalizing and energizing element, the opposite point of view to the western concept where emptiness means "nothingness". She comes into contact with the works of Zao Wou Ki, whom she adopts as her master. She complements her eastern studies with the study of archaic Chinese calligraphy with Chiu Tai Li, a plastic artist living in Buenos Aires.
The artist bears the idea of an abstract painting as a reaction to "horror vacui", especially at a time when we are protagonists of a culture overflowed with visual elements. To her, art must lead to contemplation and reflection.
National Professor of Painting, graduated from the "Prilidiano Pueyrredón" National School of Fine Arts, she is currently studying for a Master’s Degree in Visual Arts at the IUNA (National University Institute of Art). Graduated from “Escuela Superior de Publicidad” at Asociación Argentina de Profesionales Publicitarios. Since 1993, she has been exhibiting her paintings both at private and public institutions: Salón Nacional de la Mujer, National Museum of Fine Arts (La Plata); Amuchastegui Luque Foundation, Córdoba, Merit Award, Drawing, 1999. Primavera de Pintura Salon, Loft Espacio Alfa Gallery and Artística Dibu, 1st Prize; Borges Cultural Center, Expotrastienda II, Praxis Gallery in Buenos Aires, 2002.
