Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons. (Huxley, sd)
As said above, language can be a very powerful weapon to use for the better, to solve problems, to give comfort. Unfortunately, words can also to be rude, evil, mean and cause anger, hatred.  So you should be aware of what you say, in what way and in what context to be able to work with this powerful weapon.

1.2 Learning a language

Practise makes perfect. So by learning words of items that were familiar to me and prefabricate sentences I made a start of acquiring a second, a third and a forth language. Using different MI’s was very important at that stage. It really helped to see, feel an hear the topics. I  connected my previous knowledge to the new knowledge. (Cognitive structure) Than the grammar was added to the programme. It was mostly skill and drill exercises in school, but it worked. 

Learning a language is different than acquiring a language.
Whereas babies, toddlers and young children are immersed by the language, making their own rules and exploring it due to the inborn capacity to learn a language. Acquiring a language works differently and is more difficult due to several reasons. (Maaike Verrips en Suzanne Dikker, 2005)

Learning a second language is more difficult and has an different pattern in learning than the mother tongue language.  Furthermore is it much easier to learn a second language on a younger age than when you are older.  According to the linguistics this is because the inborn capacity to learn a language functions less or doesn’t function at all anymore. (Bart Penning de Vries, 2008)

As said before, pre-schoolers learn more easy a second language. According to Ineke van de Craats this is a result of the learning process. The learn automatically without all the grammar rules. Therefore she states that a learning method will be more efficient if the grammar rules are learned unconsciously.

But why is it that pre-schoolers learn  a second language better?
It is because of their young age they explore the language in the same way as their mother tongue language. (Ineke van de Craats, 2006)

Also another fact is crucial to be able to acquire a language as good as your mother tongue language and that is the resemblance between two languages. 

According to the graduate studies of Holger Hopp it is said that if you want to acquire a new language at later age, you can be very successful if this second language has a great resemblance with your mother tongue language. (Mathilde Jansen, 2007)

1.3 Creativity, is it possible to learn to be creative?

Yes, I do think so, but to explain this we first have to understand the definition of creativity.

Creativity: Is the ability to create new, practical and suitable results/knowledge within a given context. Creativity is all around us. But because it is so normal to us, we might not realize that and underestimate the power of creativity. Due to this fact we easily forget to use it. 

Although creativity is not the same as learning, their cognitive approach have a big overlap. So if we say that a young child is learning new skills, it is being creative. (David van der Kooij, 2011)

Knowing that every persons has 8 MIs (Multiple Intelligence), creativity is certainly one of them. Broaden knowledge is an ongoing process. Creativity needs knowledge for further progress and knowledge is broadened by creativity. Motivation is what his cycles sustains. Creativity is not only an inborn competence, characteristics or talent. Creativity skills can be learned in order to develop this quality. (David van der Kooij, 2011)
