The three articles expressed the interactions that languages have within science and the brain. There were several interesting learnings that came from the learnings. First and foremost, I found it interesting that your dominant hand played a role in what type of thinker you were. The hand you use is dictated by what region of your brain is being utilized. Furthermore, one of the article investigates the origin of tongue slips. Apparently, tongue slips are voluntary and are engrained in our brains.
In addition, one of the articles talks a lot about how we make different, distinct meanings. Language is a tool used for communicating meaning to one another. Different cultures have different meanings for certain objects, which make it difficult to always translate language. Languages also have ample exceptions and caveats, which may also make it difficult to fully understand a language. Overall, it seems that the meaning of different languages must be interpreted in different ways.
Overall, I think that I can use this information to become a smarter learner. Different psychological and mental techniques may prove to be extremely beneficial when I teach myself a language.
