This video shows the  differences between the dialects of Spanish spoken in Spain and Latin America. It also explains that any dialect is better than other, but they are just different. There is also a standard Spanish, that is not the Spanish from Spain, but a common Spanish used in all  Spanish  countries. Also we can see in this video, how different dialects give, sounds different to some letters.

Language acquisition is a mixture of imitation and innate knowledge that all humans have, call rules of universal Grammar. This means that all languages share common aspects or rules.

I like this Video because it tells us about a language of my country, that is dying. This language existed for millenniums and now its end It is close. Mexico is a country with a grate amount of languages, but sadly many will disappear.

Meanig what?

The idea of this article is to try to say, what is the meaning? who can we interpret the meaning of a body sign, a tag or every thing. In other words what means meaning, which sounds weird. Also how and adjective could have more than one meaning, depending on the other word in the sentence. Another aspect explained here is, how this questions take us  to the "Philosophy of language."

I choose this video, because it is interesting how a child cannot answer what he was asked to say in the moment, or answer incorrectly, when he knows the correct answer. This  child has Apraxia of speech, which is a problem of the nervous system that does not allow the child to do the task  asked to do, even when the child understand the order, or he  is willing to do the task, his muscles are able to do it and he knows how to do the  task. It also includes language disorders, bad articulation at speech and loss of previously acquired speech levels.

I agree with this article, because I know that the brain controls everything. It would be interesting to learn about this topic, to be prepared for my future kids, in case they have this problem and how to help them.

This topic affects me, in the way that I know more about neurological illness in this world.

I have Chosen this video, because it shows the differences between how we learn our first language, and our second. This last is not the same process, and that could one of the reasons because it is too hard to learn another language, so this is interesting.
I can say that I agree with this video; because sounds that there is a new way to learn a new language without struggling so much.
I want to learn more about this method of learning, because I am exhausted memorizing grammar rules.
I think it would be easier to learn first by listening and corrections and then, deal with the grammar.
I love learning languages, so this gives me another perspective.

I took this video because it explains, in a very good way, some differences between American English and British English. I found so interesting, how in both dialects omit some letters to the words, Like “T and R” or how it changes their pronunciations. I can say that definitely, I agree with what the video says; also it teaches me in an easy way to pronounce words in both dialects. I want to learn more about this, because it will help me to pronounce better my English. I do not think this topic affect the word too much.
