In this episode, we continue our journey into the fascinating world of language and the brain. Not only do babies babble with a purpose (discussed in Episode 1!), but everyone can train their brain for life-long learning.  Episode 2 in this series provides some practical strategies for increasing your brain power!  Listen up!

In this episode we will explore why the simple definition of an adverb (a word that modifies a verb) is woefully inadequate. Adverbs actually modify almost any word that is not a noun and can even modify an entire sentence! While often confusing, adverbs have a unique place in English grammar because they can bring insight and nuance when used correctly.  

A new series that will explore a variety of topics – all related to language learning, oddities of the English language, strange facts about languages, and much more!

Episode 3 discusses the wonderful world of adjectives!  They add descriptions, color, and details to our world!  Oddly enough, they are not truly necessary, but they drive away bland language and allow us to visualize language more clearly. Jump in - there is a dynamic and lovely world that awaits!

Verbs - where all the action is (or isn't!)! Verbs carry a lot of responsibility in the English language.  Truth be told, without them, coherent language would be almost impossible! This episode explores what verbs are, how they work, their tense, mood, voice, and aspect, and so much more!
