However, now that the semester is done, I have learned a lot about different languages, their history and the writing systems and structure such morphology, syntax, phonology, etc... 

- I learned a lot about language families, I always thought French and English would be part of the same family and never did I ever think German would be closer to english than french is which was chocker to me
- Another thing related to languages that was knew to me was how much dialects Chinese has; Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Taiwanese and much more. To the point where people from different dialects wouldn't even understand each other. Even Mandarin itself is divided into 4 separate dialects
-  I also learned about languages that I didn't know existed like Zulu, a bantu language spoken in southern Africa. I also learned about the tick language (I think this is what it's called :D) a tonal language that consists of different ticks sounds.
-  I also found the language of lying and language of deception a really interesting topic to learn about. Because you always hear that oh she was stuttering she must be lying, she never looks me in the eyes so she's lying, oh he was smiling when he responded he must be hiding something. However, you never really think of it in a linguistic way such as " oh he doesn't refer to himself and disassociating himself so he he be lying". It was very fun to learn about it because I found out that when lie I usually do disassociate myself, for instance if someone asks me did you talk about me behind my back I'd always say who talked about you? No one talked about you, instead of saying no I didn't talk about you 😅.
- The presentations were also very informative, I got to learn about language and diplomacy, language in Disney and last but not least language and psychological disorders. It was really fun doing the presentation because I got to learn a lot about how a person's speech tend to be altered or affected by psychological disorders.

Nevertheless, I never knew how to make ones myself and when I first took a look at the syllabus and discovered that I had to make 10% worth of memes I was a little scared not going to lie. I watched people make them and I was like wow how am I going to top that because memes making making doesn't come naturally to me I had to like think a lot about it in order to make one. Your memes ya Dr  were the best you're so talented when it comes to making them I don't know how it comes so naturally to you msa. Furthermore, seeing your memes repeatedly did help me in making mine fa thank you for bettering my sense of humor and creativity in meme making 😂 ]]> 2022-05-20 17:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193308176 I'd probably show them this as a meme because it shows how many languages Africa has even though most of them aren't properly recognized maynabil https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193310091 2022-05-20 17:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193310091 I'd also show them this infograph about the French language because it's very appealing and I love how it turned out maynabil https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193328138 I think it summarizes the important information about the language]]> 2022-05-20 17:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193328138 I'd also show them this video about language and lying so they know that I'm onto them and can figure out if they're lying 😈 maynabil https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193331985 2022-05-20 17:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193331985 I will also show them these 2 slides of languages and Psychological disorders because it's interesting and can raise awareness about how psychological disorders like depression and schizophrenia affects one's language maynabil https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193348942 2022-05-20 17:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193348942 maynabil https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193349372 2022-05-20 17:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193349372 If I were to show someone my learning in this course maynabil https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193353306 2022-05-20 17:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193353306 What I want Dr. Amena to know maynabil https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193430410 2022-05-20 19:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maynabil/Bookmarks/wish/2193430410
