(Photo : tnarik/Flickr) Pitch-accent in words pronounced in languages activates different brain hemispheres which depends on the listener’s preference of using language, a Japanese study finds. Study performed at RIKEN Brain Science Institute used advanced imaging to visualize different brain areas and came with such interesting results. Drs. Its a known fact that even two people speak the same language they might face trouble understanding each other because of the differences in dialects. Languages differ at the level of grammar and vocabulary. One example of the pitch-accent could be the word “pro’duce” and “produ’ce” whose meaning changes the way we stress on it.

Learn Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and English for free. DuoLingo Review: The Quick, Easy and Free Way to Learn A Language. Today a brand new completely free language learning resource and tool for translating the Internet (via real people rather than automatically) has become publicly available.
It’s called DuoLingo. Luis von Ahn gave a TED talk about it some time ago (in both English and Spanish), so there has been plenty of interest built up about it, and an invitation-only beta has been in operation over the last months. As of today (literally from the moment I publish this post), DuoLingo is live for everyone to sign up on. Check it out! You can learn Spanish, German, French (for English speakers) and English (for Spanish speakers), and many more languages will be added to the system over the next months. Ever hear of Luis von Ahn?

In its current form, Duolingo currently offers lessons in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese and English and has attracted over 10 million users so far. The most requested languages on the service right now include Chinese, Russian, Japanese and Arabic. As von Ahn told me, though, crowdsourcing wasn’t on the service’s roadmap from the beginning.

When I used to sing professionally, my repertory included music with lyrics in a number of languages ranging from the Romance languages through Germanic tongues.
Aside from some obvious differences in diction and phrasing, singing in different languages is a physical process that takes into account the shaping of vowels, emphasis on consonants and any glottal stops along the way. Singing in any of the Romance languages was by far the least demanding on my facial muscles. Your facial musculature includes everything from your jaw to your tongue. What Have Your Experiences Been? Looking forward to hearing from you, Stephanie.
