I really enjoyed and liked reading the articles for SDLC 105. I liked the article "How to investigate language structure" because it tells us all about what to pay attention when learning a language. I really liked the part talking about the usage of the correct form of a word and how it changes the meaning and content of a sentence. Through my experience in learning different languages, I have noticed that there are many words in every language that the same meaning, but are different in writing and reading.
The article ""How the brain handles language" was also very interesting. The fact that left handed people are more dominant in learning language was more interesting to me. I am a right handed person, however, I always find learning a language more fun and learn it faster. another thing that I found interesting in this article was the "slips of the tongue" I have noticed that sometimes when I or somebody else speak a foreign language, it is common to use words backwards or in an inappropriate order.
And, yes, the last article "How We Mean" was as interesting as the two others. In any language the most important part is knowing and learning the proper vocabulary. Knowing the right word and where and how to use that word is very important in completion of a sentence and how it conveys the right meaning to the reader or listener.
Over all, I think in learning a new language we should consider the structure, grammer, and vocabulary more in order to get used to that language. It is also important to know how to use the right word or verb so the reader or listener knows what you mean exactly.
