All right.
In this part three sample answer, we'll be looking at a culture question or looking at some culture
questions.
All right.
First question, can you learn about a different culture without knowing the language?
Yes.
I believe it's possible to gain knowledge of an outside culture absent any background in their language.
When we think about culture, we have to consider clothing, food, music, art and architecture.
In this day and age of the Internet, we are able we are all able to watch cooking shows about Korean
cuisine or utilize YouTube to view dance and dress performances in Ghana.
This this can occur without speaking Korean or tweeting last week without speaking Chinese.
I learned traditional Chinese medicine from a TV documentary.
What will languages look like 50 years from now?
That's difficult to answer, but if I had to guess, I first say that we will have less languages in
the future based on what I recently heard on television.
A CNN report linguist commented that almost half of the languages are endangered.
In addition to that report.
We can clearly witness how English has become the favored language.
Language with ESL schools growing in popularity.
So after detailing all of this, I would have to say that we will likely maintain maybe 5 to 10 languages
by 2017.
What is best to learn first, a language or culture.
It depends on if you're trying to master the native tongue or customs.
Overall, I think they're learning a culture first, really aids in grasping the concepts of a native
vernacular.
When studying a way of life, you can come across lots of vocabulary on topics ranging from cuisine
to clothing, which assists with later language education.
Very often, when absorbing a dialect through reading, the content will have vivid descriptions and
having background knowledge of traditions will aid in that understanding.
Is it possible to write and speak as a native speaker?
I have two different answers when considering native ability for writing and speaking regarding writing.
Yes, a language learner can perform equal to or exceed the skills of a native speaker.
Writing is based on grammatical and lexical rules, which second language students can master at the
same level as an ll one writer.
Now, the spoken word is an entirely different story, where certain nuances in terms of intonation,
word stress, sentence stress and chunking a non-native speaker just can't grasp completely.
Right now in purple, we have the we have a lot of the fluency language that's highlighted here.
You see a lot of great vocabulary.
Native tongue, native vernacular, a way of life in terms instead of saying culture.
Cuisine.
Clothing deals with culture, language, education.
Dialect is really good vocabulary.
Traditions is good for culture.
Here we have a compound, complex sentence.
We're using the really eight really raises the level or raises you raises your level on the rubric regarding
writing, great way to start a sentence out grammatical lexical second language l one intonation word
stress sentence stress chunking.
You're hearing a lot of vocabulary that's going to be very impressive to a greater in the previous question.
Right in the previous question.
The previous question.
Let me go back for a second here.
We have some really good language.
Also gain knowledge instead of learning absent any background, meaning without without culture.
Here we have good parallelism clothing, food, music, art, architecture.
In this day and age is great fluency language when we think about it as great fluency language.
So this is what you want to be able to do also is perfectly fine to start off like this.
That's difficult to answer, but if I had to guess, that is great fluency language.
In addition to that report, that means I'm extending and explaining more.
That adds to the fluency score.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
And I look forward to joining you in the next video.
