Who cares about disabled people?

https://www.facebook.com/Deaf-Beyond-Success-666283433578579/ Born out of the blue,  their lives are engulfed by every kind of unimaginable hardship Prisoners in walls of cold hearts, the world that they live in offers them no friendship Written off in totality, nobody will ever give them a fair chance to excel Victims of open discrimination, the day comes to an end in a deep exhale Who cares about disabled people? What if none of them survives? Who cares about disabled people? Isn’t there anything to expect out of their lives? Alms seekers by fate, they know no end to rags of pity and shame Rejected by the world to die, they are unsure if they will die with a name Safe in the shelter of silence, their hearts’ desires are born still Suffocating on the smother of their unsung songs, their hearts harden as steel Who cares about disabled people? Who care how harmful is the cost of bigoted compliance? Who cares about disabled people? Isn’t anybody bra...

Adults and Language Learning #3

MYTH #3: Adults Must Learn Languages like Children As an ESL teacher for adult business professionals, I can't tell you how many times I've seen this theory proven wrong. This myth has been perpetuated by the assumptions that children are "better" at learning languages than adults, and therefore adults must mimic the way children learn to be successful.   Obviously, both of these assumptions are wrong. First of all, learning a second language is not like learning a first language because it implies previous language learning knowledge and experience. The more we learn, the more our brains change and develop. The new structure of our brains makes learning a second (or third, or fourth) language fundamentally different from learning our first language. That's why we should never learn our second language the same way that we learned our first language. Children learn their first language through immersion and by being bombarded by the language for over te...

Adults and Language Learning #1-2

Learning a language is a fascinating, complex journey into a new culture and way of thinking. It forces us to challenge our minds, memories and mouths and to step out of our comfort zones. For many of us adults, this can sometimes be an uncomfortable experience. We're so accustomed to speaking our native language that the idea of communicating, taking risks and making mistakes in a new language is uncomfortable. This discomfort has also lead to the widespread myth that it's much easier for children to learn languages than for adults. But is language learning really more difficult for adults? Are you too old to learn a language? And if adults can learn languages well, isn't it better to learn just like a child does? This week, I'll take a look at three of the biggest myths surrounding adults and language learning to prove that language learning as possible at any age. MYTH #1: Children are Better Language Learners than Adults While there are many studies pro...
