Languages & Expressing Ourselves

       (¹) Cave Drawings

        Have you ever had an experience where you wanted to express yourself and be understood by other people? Well that's because we all have the need to express ourselves, this is in our nature. Every day we express ourselves in a way or want to do it. It has been like this since the first humans . In the early times we can see humans' drawings inside of the caves (¹). They either wanted to let the others know about a hunt or food. But either way they expressed themselves. There are many ways to reflect our thoughts and as we all know, in most of them language occupies a big space. 

                                                          

     Every day a lot of ideas and thoughts come to our minds, and we feel emotions. In a way; we want to reflect them so that we can be understood. Some of us use their body language and gestures, babies cry, some of us write, some of us sing etc. to do this. But in most of them there is a big role of language. We can have knowledge about the cultures, the countries and the people when we know the language that they speak. So I believe, in understanding each other and communicating with each other, language has an important role. 

        If I try to communicate with another person that speak another language it may be hard for us to understand each other. There the translation and language teaching come. With a lot of different languages and cultures around the world, as we all live together and in a way interact with each other, we have needed to translate our thoughts and writings throughout the history in order to express ourselves and understand each other. Because we are social livings trying to live together, we want to feel seen and understood by others. So why not use the power of language and try to understand each other?

Steve AI Animation Video

Animations take a good space in learning. The expressions in animations are pretty importantant. They are easy to remember and understand. Because children love the animations, it's wise to use animations to teach any kind of topic of language teaching. That's why I made an animation using Steve AI to teach children the illnesses and the real life usafe of should. I made a short animation just to show children how the "should" sentences can be used in real life situations.  Here is the link for my animation video: https://app.steve.ai/video/H1N8NMHD8TBT60UF From Saturn with love:)

What Is Learning? & Padlet

      We learn new skills and knowledge nearly every day, we learn at school or at home so nearly everywhere. But have you ever thought what is learning? "Learning is a function of brain. And it is time-dependent change or development of knowledge, attitudes and skill." says Prof. Dr. Soner Yıldırım. It means that learning changes knowledge, skills and attitudes in time. We learned how to walk or how to talk when we were children. Those changed the way we saw things and they added new skills to us. Learning how to speak a language is also a change in skills because you gain the skills to listen to in another language or speak in another language. Moreover it is a change in knowledge because we receive the knowledge of the language in order to speak that. So these are some of the examples of  learning. Now how this learning occurs?  Learning occurs by repeating. We repeat till we make the information permanent in the brain, which takes most of the energy that we produce. That
