    That was a fantastic presentation! I absolutely agree 100%. I have also taken courses with Michael Krasny, and he is, hands down, my favorite English professor.

    I'm fortunate to be bilingual with Welsh being my first language. We have some beautiful words which due to their particular meaning cannot be easily or accurately translated into English. I've enjoyed this video. I remember once someone being asked to define erudite. Their reply was " I'm adequately erudite to know what it means".

    The bridge between the prose in us and the passion. without it we are fragments of meaningless fragments half monks half beasts I liked the qoute.
    In fact English is not my mother tongue but I intend to focus more on vocabularies. I mean I feel that I lack some vocabularies in my Arabic language because it has been a while since I read an arabic book so I have to focus on reading on both languages.
    Amazing talk.

    sure language is everything. Most of the time I passed social sciences because of being able to express the small idea you have even if you had read very little

      Tony17Q It’ll get easier. Just stick to it. I’m currently struggling with reading in Russian. But I learn new things every day and I’m surprised how much I understand and how fast I can read right now. Don’t give up.

    Do pupils in school learn to read their mother tongue effectively? Yes and no. Up to the fifth or sixth grade, reading, on the whole, is effectively taught and well learned. To that level we find a steady and general improvement, but beyond it the curves flatten out to a dead level. This is not because a person arrives at his natural limit of efficiency in reading when he reaches the sixth grade, for it has been shown again and again that with special tuition much older children, and also adults, can make enormous improvement. Nor does it mean that most sixth-graders read well enough for all practical purposes. A great many pupils do poorly in high school because of sheer ineptitude in getting meaning from the printed page. They can improve; they need to improve; but they don't
    The average high-school graduate has done a good deal of reading, and if he goes on to college he will do a good deal more; but he is likely to be a poor and incompetent reader. (Note that this holds true of the average student, not the person who is a subject for special remedial treatment.) He can follow a simple piece of fiction and enjoy it. But put him up against a closely written exposition, a carefully organized and economically stated argument, or a passage requiring critical consideration, and he is at a loss. It has been shown, for instance, that the average high school student is amazingly inept at indicating the central thought of a passage, or the levels of emphasis and subordination in an argument or exposition. To all intents and purposes he remains a sixth-grade reader till well along in college.

    I spend at least 6 hours a day reading emails at work. So does reading emails have the same affect on the brain?

    Does reading the dictionary help build your vocabulary?

    • @paulajedidah
      @paulajedidah 4 года назад +3

      In a way, yes. But in reading books you'd get more context and you'll learn how to use certain words appropriately 😄

    • @djcortex8635
      @djcortex8635 Год назад

      When you’re reading a dictionary, you’re learning new words in alphabetical order as opposed to by how important and commonly utilized they are. That doesn’t sound like a very organic (or engaging) way to learn anything.

    This was great, however it misses the entire purpose of reading - enhanced knowledge. To read merely to better your vocabulary is no different than to exercise merely for a good physique.
