The amount of easily digestible complex topics on this channel is something we really take for granted. Quality content aside, the animations in every video do an outstanding in simplifying concepts turning a subject engulfed in scientific literature, into something actually interesting for the average Joe like me. Well done Ted-Ed!
I'm multilingual and there are times when I swear I can feel my brain switching over to a different language. It's as if the different languages are stored in different compartments of my brain.
I feel the same way. I can speak Portuguese and English with a high Proficiency level (Both C2) and Spanish with a certain degree of fluency. It does indeed feel like the brain switches from one to the other, and it takes time! Interestingly, it's s different amount of time for each language. For instance, I can shift from Portuguese to English in the blink of eye, but not the other way around: it takes (much) longer.
I am multilingual as well but I feel that sometimes I am groping for words when I go for long stretches not speaking one of the languages I spoke fluently as a child. I wonder if recognition v speech are handled differently. While I can comprehend the meaning quickly, I feel like my brain forces me to think in English and translate to that language to respond.
My brain: Ok we planned for this scenario and practiced it in our minds a hundred times already, all you gonna do is speak normally and don't mess this up. My mouth: How about..... NO
Omar GUIREEV Even as a native speaker of English I struggle way more to hear lyrics than make out spoken words. I also typically struggle more to hear words in movies and such than in real life (to a lesser extent), but I think some of that is the fact that movies tend to be full of loud sounds and music and oddly whispery or overly enthusiastic voices, lol
Bright Future Therapy Services It’s true that it’s way easier to understand singing with no accompanying music, but it’s still not as easy as understanding speech
Music is filled with emotion too, so that is also probably getting in the way. When I was a kid I was really good at figuring out lyrics, listening to records back in the 60s and 70s and not internet, and many musicians didn't put their lyrics on the jacket. My friends and family would seek out my help sometimes. But as I got older it got harder, so age must play a role too. Plus I have developed tinnitus, which doesn't help...
By becoming fluent in multiple languages that are fundamentally different (i.e. Greek, Mandarin), my brain began to somewhat subconsciously sort and compartmentalize new vocabulary. When I learn a new word in Chinese, my brain will often make note of several factors, such as level of formality, part of speech, any presence of humor/cuteness/playfulness, and potential synonyms. However, I became retroactively aware that I had been subconsciously doing the same thing when acquiring English as a child. For example, "scald" might activate "burn+wet+verb" in my head, while "deceive" might be "lie+action+formal+intent to obtain sth." This sort of thing became more apparent when I had Chinese classmates ask me things like "what's the difference between promise and swear?". I had to analyze the specific context and implications of words I'd used since primary school.
Thank you for this video. My dad is having to learn how to “talk” again. He is having trouble with basically the overall of what this video is about. It’s nice to learn more about how the brain works around it and maybe a way to help him more now that I understand more. Thank you for the video, amazing as always!!
Ted ED is the only channel where I don't skip ads, cuz DAMN, they deserve it all! My favourite channel, hands down, on UA-cam ❤ Thank you for feeding our curiosity and teaching us about things we never knew existed 👏🏼
When my language arts teacher explained the definition of etymology, my mind literally exploded with words I have remembered from that point in time to as far back as I can remember. It made me more avid of using the dictionary at certain times and at the same time rely less on the dictionary; a paradox of usage.
"each word that we know, is separated by a different processing unit" My processing unit for everything I studied and orally remembered: *[disappears]*
Ted ed is literally underrated the different animation styles make listening to his already soothing voice much better and literally every other person who narrates' soothing voice
im not native english, i've been learning it from 3 years ago through youtube. this video gave me some tips. right now im focusing on listening and speaking thank you TED-Ed!
I absolutely love this animation style. This channel gives me so much joy and the passion that you incorporate into your videos is very visible. TedED means so much to me and I have learned so much through your channel. Thank you!
In the entire video I had been thinking how I was processing those words and I lost tract of what the speaker was saying. I consciously was thinking about it and had to rewind everytime. Anybody else did the same??
Its brilliant.. i usually don't speak much but think alot inside my brain.. n most of the time my brain face hard time selecting the proper word for speech.. i guess my brain has not been trained much regarding verbal speech.. i m multilingual.. and i feel like i don't have proper command over any language.. it takes me time to process..
This video is so accurate to my thoughts. I always think how people can understand themselves with word. Even now i am listening, seeing the words. How does that process happen. Unfortunately, the more i am aware of that, the more😂 i don't understand my own language anymore. That feeling is like you are hearing the sound of wind while trying to figure out its meanings😢. But now i finally understand, i can live free now!!
Could you do a video on TOXIC POSITIVITY? I think it’s a topic that should be explored. Thank you for all you excellent videos. Keep of the inspiring work you do.
I don't like that the animation shows each word as a physical object. I don't know much about the topic, but I feel that it portrays what's actually going on (a bunch of neurons firing systematically) in a way that, while making it easier to understand, creates a faulty idea that words are stored as physical objects.
Thank you so much for making this kind of amazing video it's really very beneficial for me. Lots of love to this channel from one of your viewers. Thank you
The previous comment is correct your surroundings effect your ability to learn a new language greatly. I know this because due to the place I was born I can write around 4 and speak about 15 languages
@@devarain With this helpless attitude I'm sure you'll be lost too. We're all people, and must make an effort for our own good to connect to others after some practice I'm sure you'll find an effective means of communication.
Humans are creatures of tools, and language is one of our most underrated tools. It's simple insane how useful it is for us to be able to communicate to one another with a so many different complex options.
Probably not much at all if the theory they were talking about in the Video is right. They said that the „individual processing units“ for each word had only one function and it was to use that one word. So if u knew a million words u would have a million mini processing units that do only one thing and that is process which ever word they correspond to

Same I speak English and Hindi
I had a cerebral palsy and autism affected my speech since I was a newborn girl.
When someone says even one syllable, it’s basically hangman for the entire audience.
Even when you don’t want to listen to what is being said. My brain can disregard words spoken in another language but not my own.
What is a syllable?
It’s hard to argue with his assessment
@@gyroscope8244 for example syllable has 3 syllables: sy, lla, ble. Happy has 2: hap, py

I also typically struggle more to hear words in movies and such than in real life (to a lesser extent), but I think some of that is the fact that movies tend to be full of loud sounds and music and oddly whispery or overly enthusiastic voices, lol
This is because the instrumental sounds trump the lyrics.

Yeah it happens quite a lot with me as well
Amazing production quality 👌👌🙌
Listening to the speech of this video about speech gave me the biggest meta experience of my life
Consciously trying to APPLY & UNDERSTAND this speech.. Had a weird feeling listing every word
This channel melts my brain... it’s amazing
I love watching these
love the animation style on this one
I love everything about this video 🤩 the animation, the voiceover, the topic ! Everything !you’ve made it so fascinating

I think this must be one of the most beautiful animations i've ever seen.
Sound is very fascinating.

thank u for mentioning sign recognition as being similar to spoken word recognition.🙌🏻
