Question.2437 - This week we are learning about languages in the Pacific, and how language shapes the way we think. Many experts believe that up to half of the 7,000 languages spoken around the world will disappear in the next 100 years. That would include languages within the Pacific.This Forum has two questions, you only have to answer one:1. If you speak a second language (other than English), what can you share about how your worldview (or your cultural perspective) changes when speaking each language. Do you have examples similar to Boroditsky in her TEDTalks? Have you ever thought about or observed how speaking more than one language alters your experiences or perspectives?-OR-2. What kinds of knowledge specific to the Pacific do you think we will lose when languages disappear in the Pacific? Think about what you know from living in Hawai'i and/or traveling around the region when you answer. Is there anything we can do to protect this knowledge? https://www.ted.com/talks/lera_boroditsky_how_language_shapes_the_way_we_think#t-838956
