Blog # 9: Brain Games


There are many interesting articles about language and the brain, but I think this video is much more interesting. I've been watching Brain Games (great show) on Netflix and I've learned so much from it. So I was excited to see that they had an episode specifically for this topic. This video covers so much and it gets the viewers involved which I think makes it more fun. It's a bit long but it's definitely worth it. Hope you guys like it!

Blog #8: So Many Endangered Languages



 I already did a blog on an endangered language but I do find this topping interesting; I'm glad to write about his topic again.  This video is about some of many endangered languages in the world. After seeing this video I realized that we should really strive to preserve endangered languages. We should keep speaking our native language and teaching our children. It's sad to think that one day these endangered languages might one day be gone, along with their culture and traditions. Hopefully we can do our best to change this. Take a look!

Blog #7: Grey's Anatomy...Come Again?


This video is a great example of what jargon is and well, I also enjoy watching Grey's Anatomy. I didn't understand any of this medical jargon so when they said it again in a much simpler way I was like oh... that's what you meant. There is so much we don't know because jargon is vocabulary of a specific professional trade (medical, legal, business, etc...) that can be hard to understand. I thought these actors did great in memorizing the medical jargon but I did find another video about how well they know medical jargon. Check it out!
