A Great Course on Language

In a previous post I mentioned why we love listening to The Great Courses. A latter post touched on our favorite course, Customs of the World. Another one of interest was:

Language A to Z

This was more of a fun course. The professor took the listener through how language worked. Using humor, pop culture, and ancient history, he helped me to understand the complexity of language. I would say that this course was less of a learning experience and more of an enjoyable experience. Plus, he helped me to understand what “lol” really means.

I would recommend this course to:

  • Someone interested in linguistics
  • Someone who enjoys interesting facts
  • Someone who loves words
