Ah, that explains your height.
How do you know how tall I am haha? Can you tell from photos in my posts? 😂
The Jamaican patois is still different from the Papiamento; It's more broken English with the use of some African words and maybe a little Spanish:)
That's really interesting. I find language fascinating, how it develops in the brain and some of the processes involved. It was one of my favorite subjects in a developmental psychology class I took in university. I could go on and on about language really.
You do take great photos, but something tells me that there are no camera tricks where your height is concerned, so yes! 😆
Yeah, I think languages are fascinating and I think it changes the thought processes of persons who speak dual languages.
I regret not being multi-lingual actually... I always wanted to study linguistics (they say native English speakers find it more challenging to learn other languages though).
Psychology was one of my strong areas in uni. I still like it and have always enjoyed studying and observing the behavioral patterns of people.
Speaking from my own experiences, its probably because we don't put any effort to learn new languages we just expect everyone to speak English to us around the world - and generally they do...lol
I think that is the general behavior of North Americans (again myself included here). In Europe everyone I meet speaks 2 to 7 languages. Back home I know maybe 3 people who are bilingual. Lol
Yes, there is some fact in what you've said about our difficulty to grasp another language.
Absolutely!
I think dual-language people have different problem solving techniques too:)
