The video I watched was about how language changes and affects the way we think.The speaker gave to the audience multiple examples of how some people think extremely differently because of their language.For example when some people have different words in their languages about the colour shades, then they recognise a lot more easily the difference between the shades.Moreover, she says that there exist about 7000 languages around the world and all are extremely different.I really believe that all the video can be said in one sentence "Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000." I believe this video was very informative and also a very strong motive to continue learning english.

You couldn’t have chosen a better video, Catherine! Yes, language is the pillar of culture and molds all speakers’ mentality and way of life. How do you feel about the fact that some languages around the globe become extinct, mostly because of globalisation?
