1
00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:01,290
All right.

2
00:00:01,290 --> 00:00:06,660
In this part three sample answer, we'll be looking at a culture question or looking at some culture

3
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:07,620
questions.

4
00:00:15,260 --> 00:00:15,770
All right.

5
00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:21,500
First question, can you learn about a different culture without knowing the language?

6
00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:25,950
Yes.

7
00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:32,340
I believe it's possible to gain knowledge of an outside culture absent any background in their language.

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,700
When we think about culture, we have to consider clothing, food, music, art and architecture.

9
00:00:38,910 --> 00:00:45,360
In this day and age of the Internet, we are able we are all able to watch cooking shows about Korean

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,060
cuisine or utilize YouTube to view dance and dress performances in Ghana.

11
00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:58,860
This this can occur without speaking Korean or tweeting last week without speaking Chinese.

12
00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:02,310
I learned traditional Chinese medicine from a TV documentary.

13
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,540
What will languages look like 50 years from now?

14
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,610
That's difficult to answer, but if I had to guess, I first say that we will have less languages in

15
00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:21,240
the future based on what I recently heard on television.

16
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:27,840
A CNN report linguist commented that almost half of the languages are endangered.

17
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:29,770
In addition to that report.

18
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:33,330
We can clearly witness how English has become the favored language.

19
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,170
Language with ESL schools growing in popularity.

20
00:01:37,290 --> 00:01:45,480
So after detailing all of this, I would have to say that we will likely maintain maybe 5 to 10 languages

21
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,680
by 2017.

22
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,670
What is best to learn first, a language or culture.

23
00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:02,160
It depends on if you're trying to master the native tongue or customs.

24
00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:08,580
Overall, I think they're learning a culture first, really aids in grasping the concepts of a native

25
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:09,450
vernacular.

26
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:16,530
When studying a way of life, you can come across lots of vocabulary on topics ranging from cuisine

27
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:20,520
to clothing, which assists with later language education.

28
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:27,180
Very often, when absorbing a dialect through reading, the content will have vivid descriptions and

29
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:31,020
having background knowledge of traditions will aid in that understanding.

30
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:36,610
Is it possible to write and speak as a native speaker?

31
00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:44,070
I have two different answers when considering native ability for writing and speaking regarding writing.

32
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,650
Yes, a language learner can perform equal to or exceed the skills of a native speaker.

33
00:02:50,890 --> 00:02:56,620
Writing is based on grammatical and lexical rules, which second language students can master at the

34
00:02:56,620 --> 00:02:59,530
same level as an ll one writer.

35
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:07,600
Now, the spoken word is an entirely different story, where certain nuances in terms of intonation,

36
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:14,230
word stress, sentence stress and chunking a non-native speaker just can't grasp completely.

37
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:23,030
Right now in purple, we have the we have a lot of the fluency language that's highlighted here.

38
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:24,950
You see a lot of great vocabulary.

39
00:03:24,980 --> 00:03:31,550
Native tongue, native vernacular, a way of life in terms instead of saying culture.

40
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:33,120
Cuisine.

41
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Clothing deals with culture, language, education.

42
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,520
Dialect is really good vocabulary.

43
00:03:40,530 --> 00:03:43,160
Traditions is good for culture.

44
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:45,330
Here we have a compound, complex sentence.

45
00:03:45,330 --> 00:03:53,160
We're using the really eight really raises the level or raises you raises your level on the rubric regarding

46
00:03:53,160 --> 00:04:01,740
writing, great way to start a sentence out grammatical lexical second language l one intonation word

47
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:03,600
stress sentence stress chunking.

48
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:10,500
You're hearing a lot of vocabulary that's going to be very impressive to a greater in the previous question.

49
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,060
Right in the previous question.

50
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,290
The previous question.

51
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,180
Let me go back for a second here.

52
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:19,530
We have some really good language.

53
00:04:19,530 --> 00:04:29,610
Also gain knowledge instead of learning absent any background, meaning without without culture.

54
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:34,380
Here we have good parallelism clothing, food, music, art, architecture.

55
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:40,080
In this day and age is great fluency language when we think about it as great fluency language.

56
00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:45,570
So this is what you want to be able to do also is perfectly fine to start off like this.

57
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:51,010
That's difficult to answer, but if I had to guess, that is great fluency language.

58
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:55,430
In addition to that report, that means I'm extending and explaining more.

59
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,390
That adds to the fluency score.

60
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:03,120
Okay.

61
00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:04,120
Thank you very much.

62
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,490
And I look forward to joining you in the next video.
