How language shapes the way we think

(AN ADVANCED LISTENING LESSON)

This week’s lesson looks at the question of how language shapes the way people think.

It’s particularly interesting for you, language learners, who are now learning through a second language how another group of people perceive and express things through language.

 

The lesson is based on a TED talk by Lera Boroditsky, How language shapes the way we think.

I hope you enjoy this lesson!
