One of the first things that happens when a baby learns a language, is that it becomes unable to perceive the difference between certain word-sounds. A native Japanese speaker can't tell the difference between L and R just as native English speakers can't tell the difference between certain Hindi letters. This makes it impossible to learn other accents, as you can't perceive the difference between what you're saying and the accent. I may have heard wrong, but learning accents may be impossible.
The Lecture 7 video is not available. Lecture 7's topic was "Delivering healthcare, a case study from India". See the course materials for the readings and other materials at: ocw.mit.edu/14-73S11. Best wishes on your studies!

Yeah except the deworming is actually efficacious and if they give you bad deworming drugs causing an adverse reaction you can sue the manufacturer for trebled damages
Why does this lecturer continually equate nutrition with caloric intake? Does she believe the answer to poverty is cheap and plentiful high fructose corn syrup
That is exactly what she is NOT doing, and what the conclusion of the last lecture was & purpose of this lecture is, i.e., calories may not present as a poverty trap, but nutrients themselves do.
This subject is very fascinating, and the fact that this lecture is available for free is great. This professor needs to spend time learning what could be called an American accent, and to unlearn the accent of her native language. I cannot understand what she's saying, which is leading me to go to the next lecture, and the next professor. Norman Spurgeon
56:40 Health Program/Education Program in School is a nice gem segment.
