Online Universities published a collection of forty video and audio lectures about human language, culture and civilization. The lectures together show us how language and linguistics unites all things.
One of the lectures they linked was by Director Sebastian Silva. He discussed American acceptance of foreign language films. I thought that was particularly interesting because I think that Americans should be exposed to more foreign language films. Their article also had other lectures about language, human brain and how language is used in political propaganda. I suggest all my readers go directly to their article and choose any of the 40 language topics you find most interesting.
Enjoy!
