Crucially, the more distinctions we have in our language for a particular domain, the more powerful actions we can take. Brothers gives the example of someone like himself taking a walk in the woods, versus a forest ranger. Or consider a patient coming to see a doctor. Or a gourmet chef talking with Elon Musk (are they talking about cooking or about rockets?). The point is that we get deeper, richer distinctions that reflect more expertise and more possibilities.
A physicist and a chemist do not see the same things, even when they are both looking at the same slide on the microscope. A professional forester and a woodcarver do not see the same things, even when both are looking at the same forest.
This post is about the Italian language, including suggestions and ideas for understanding and speaking it. When we first visited Italy back in 2010, it was then and there I fell in love with the musical sound of the Italian language. It was like listening to Andrea Bocelli, my favorite Italian tenor.
When I listen to an Italian conversation, I realize that I hear common, familiar words. I try and make a list of these words and research them later. This could be even from watching an Italian movie on television.
There are so many great YouTube videos out there for free. Find one that works for you and that you can relate to. Watch as many as you can and then move on to another one. Here are some of my favorites:
Do what it takes to succeed whether it is finding a friend to help you or putting post-it notes around the house. When you walk by a note, say the word to yourself. Visually seeing it is a benefit too!
While speaking with E. J. Koh about her luminous new memoir, The Magical Language of Others, there was a point in our conversation where she was searching for the words to describe the joy of discovering a hidden surprise in an artistic work.
Koh, a trilingual literary translator, poet and now memoirist, is able to distill that sense of wordplay and the bending of language into something exquisite with The Magical Language of Others, her heart-wrenching story of parent-child separation.
It is nearly a decade later, after Koh has earned her graduate degrees in poetry and literary translation, that she rediscovered these letters and was finally able to understand them in a more complete way.
As a fellow Korean American who has also learned Japanese, it occurred to me to ask Koh about the ways that classical Chinese characters in both languages (called hanja and kanji, respectively, in Korean and Japanese) deepen her ability to carry the depth and meaning of words in translation.

Clifford opened his remarks by citing that nearly 65 percent of BYU students already speak a second language. However, despite so many speaking multiple languages, Clifford pointed out many forget the more intricate aspects of language itself.
Clifford also pointed out that Joseph Smith found discrepancies between different translations of the Bible and that discussing these different interpretations begins a conversation about the best ways and words to express spiritual truths.
Clifford then took a moment to note the large number of returned missionaries attending the devotional. He said it is easy to understand that serving a foreign language speaking mission can help an individual intellectually, but returned missionaries should not grow complacent.
Clifford said language study is character building at its very core as it meets three specific criteria: Language learning is inherently good, requires a concerted effort, and demands perseverance over an extended period of time.
In closing his remarks, Clifford acknowledged that there has always been a shortage of individuals with expertise in languages. This, in turn, provides an excellent opportunity for BYU students to serve those around them.

These may work with people but I believe God has His own love language. I think God has a way to express heartfelt commitment to His people and a way of receiving love back. I believe that language is PURSUIT.
Of course Dios and God are the same by definition and nature, but a whole new realm of my relationship with God was born. As part of my language journey, I started to read a little passage of scripture daily in La Biblia de Las Americas (The spanish translation of the bible I used at that time). I started to journal in Spanish as well, writing down thoughts, prayers and scripture. It was like I was rediscovering who God was again, but from another angle.
The ability to read passages with new eyes and a new vocabulary opened up new depths of passages in the Bible. Every language has limitations when you translate it. Yes, its true, even our beloved KJV, ESV, or NIV cannot fully communicate the depth of the Greek or Hebrew language of the original scriptures.
One limitation of English, for example, is the lack of a differentiating 2nd person plural pronoun, so YOU in a particular passage can be plural or singular and the only way to know is by context or by going back to the original text. Is the passage talking about you individually or you the church? In Spanish, however, there is You (singular, t/usted) or plural (ustedes or vosotros depending on country) making some passages more clear in who YOU are ?
Beyond the practical advantages, Spanish is such a beautiful language and the way the words flow can sound much more poetic than in English (sorry English lovers!). Once more proficient in the language, I found myself praying to God in Spanish just because it felt more right in that particular moment.
John Baugh (Wash U) discussed his research on the role of dialect in housing discrimination, and how he has worked to fight dialect-based racial discrimination as an expert witness in trials, and in collaboration with the Department of Justice. (Check out his new book, "Linguistics in Pursuit of Justice"!)
Susan Ehrlich (York U) discussed a recent example of her work analyzing the language used in sexual assault trials to demonstrate how the legal system often re-victimizes women and perpetuates rape culture. In this case--the 2013 Steubenville rape trial--photographic evidence from social media was treated by prosecutors as a more reliable representation of reality than verbal testimony, leading to successful convictions.
Aylin Caliskan (GWU) discussed her work (published in Science) demonstrating that machine learning algorithms have the same biases as humans, because those biases are embedded in the linguistic data they learn from. Her findings highlight the risk of using computers for sensitive tasks like hiring or criminal sentencing: rather than preventing discrimination, they may amplify it.
In 1929 he joined the Communist party, but found himself taken aback by the dogmatism and mauvaise foi he witnessed there. He had, of course, a much better sense of conditions in the USSR than many of his comrades, and he was better prepared to recognize the brutality of the Stalin regime. Indeed, he abandoned Communism long before the tide of international left-wing opinion turned against it: his definitive break with the party came in 1933.
That language is a being exterior to us, although it seems at first glance only a manifestation of our existence, is what is shown already by the form in which it appears to us when it dons its solemn visage, the book; that is to say, an object like a house or a tree, as foreign to its readers and writer as those are to the man who built or planted them. . . .
He attained his best result, perhaps, with Joseph (1964) a short novel about a marital crisis, which is more engaging and perceptive, I think, than the pragmatic definition above would suggest. Other important works from this period include a lightly fictionalized memoir, De fil en aiguille (1960) and a set of Entretiens avec Bernard Pingaud, broadcast on the radio in 1964 and published under that title in 1966. Two years before his death, Parain published the Petite mtaphysique de la parole (1969), a genre-defying summation of his thought which is also the only of his books available in English (A metaphysics of language, 1971).
All at once the mute astonishment of a child torn between the countryside and his studies became the universal drama: young men, running, exhausted, falling in combat; and the journalists who told the story. Where was the truth? In dying, or in speaking? The choice was inhuman.

Background: The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in communication being heightened as one of the critical aspects in the implementation of interventions. Delays in the relaying of vital information by policymakers have the potential to be detrimental, especially for the hearing impaired.
Objectives: This study aims to conduct a scoping review on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time speech-to-text to sign language translation and consequently propose an AI-based real-time translation solution for South African languages from speech-to-text to sign language.
Methods: Electronic bibliographic databases including ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE and ProQuest were searched to identify peer-reviewed publications published in English between 2019 and 2021 that provided evidence on AI-based real-time speech-to-text to sign language translation as a solution for the hearing impaired. This review was done as a precursor to the proposed real-time South African translator.
