Comment on Linguistic Link: Bilingual Benefits for Deaf Children by DinoLingo.com

“The same way that early exposure to multiple languages increases cognitive abilities in hearing children, exposure to both spoken and sign language for deaf children has positive effects on cognition and language learning”

It is a wonderful thing that even a deaf child can learn anther language, and it will have the same positive cognitive effects on them as a non deaf child. If a child that cannot hear can learn another language, surely we as adults can learn another language. This is a rather inspirational blog! (http://blog.dinolingo.com)

Comment on Spring UIC TiL Schedule by Jitu

I agree with Aj ~ I’m enjoying the blherspogoe and am seeing a meteoric rise in the home-town newspaper. We lost three big ones over the summer, and at least six grassroots enterprises sprang up in their place. The big ones are making a comeback, but I’ll be very surprised if they replace the small ones that have very quickly developed loyal readerships. The smaller, home-town papers list tons of local news, community events, school sports and convey to their readers a very strong sense of this is all about US. Granted, that’s twice the paper consumption, in one sense, but these papers are placed and voluntarily picked up by consumers ~ they are not mass-mailed to households which won’t even open them, nor do they contain the magazine-style inserts that the bigger papers did.

The rugged look of fringe remains popular, while the feel of leather instills a natural style.

Just as an added resource – François Grosjean – University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland published a series of answers to questions that parents typically have regarding bilingualism. Interesting read.
