A Field of Links- By Julia McGonigal

I’m planning on taking an ASL class while at SDSU. I would love to become fluent but it might be a bit hard if this is true

My parents have always pushed me to learn a language besides Spanish, and every time they do I like to pull out this bad boy !

I’ve always heard that once you speak one latin based language you can learn others easily.

Who know’s if that’s true though? It always seems that languages can be easily learned when you are a baby, not as a young adult

Another suggested language that was suggested for me to try and learn is computer programming language. It seems a bit challenging to me, but I think it could be really cool if I was learning stuff like this 

I love that movie Avatar, and I’m totally going to geek out here but there’s tons of different ways to learn the language!

I’ve been trying to figure out if the language itself could be taught as an elective, I’m pretty sure some people have attempted it…

But I mean I know that the individuals who created the Na’vi language studied many different linguistic aspects 

Some even go so far as to figure out the specific phonology of the language!

But enough about the already existing Na’vi language…I think it would be interesting to see what goes into developing your own language

It’s the strangest blog I’ve ever found…and yet it is extremely fascinating. I think if I were to create my own language it would just be a bit of confusion.

The best thing for me to do is to find a language that I find interesting, and follow a passion. In this case it’s definitely going to be the Na’vi language! And here’s how I’m going to learn it
