After reading the article, I was really surprised to realize that human is really a magical creation. Every part of our bodies is carefully designed. Before doing the reading, I only knew that right hemisphere and left hemisphere of our brains are responsible for different things. For example, right hemisphere is for listening. And I have no idea about what kind of hard and complicate work that our brains need to do in order to learn language.
I am really impressive about the area in front of the fissure of Rolando which was mentioned in the chapter. It is responsible for motor functioning. In short, it helps people learn speaking and writing during the process of study. At the same time, Wernicke’s area, the upper back area of the temporal lobe is in charge of handling the comprehension of speech.
In conclusion, learning a language is harder than people assume. Reading these chapters make me want to keep studying different kinds of language. And I believe after finding out similarities and interesting differences between those languages, I will be able to enjoy the process of learning and speak various languages fluently.
