Welcome.
Thank you kindly, nice to be here Ronin and nice to meet you also.
Welcome to the Forum Nicholas
Thank you so much for your dedication and efforts. I hope in some way can make a contribution. Have a great evening it is late here. Good night and God Bless
Nicholas .. we have been awaiting your arrival .. Trusting your landing was smooth and welcome to Planet Giza .. the best planet in the Solar System .. The terrain can get a little rough but the natives are AWESOME .. Big thinkers discussing big issues .. Enjoy your stay and greetings from Straya ..
Thank you
Welcome Nicholas. I was in the North of England and now Im in the south of France. (North in England has a capital letter.. its just the way it is..) What are your interests and what brought you to Albion?
Thank you for your the warm welcome. To engage in discussions basically. I have a varied interest. Merci Bon Journée, have a great day. My profile is a work in progress and rushed our 2 year old Victoria takes priority and certainly exposing her to languages ,linguistics and enlightened thought at an early age is key hopefully: the enjoy the discussions while I have been focused on Euro Asian positioning, It is always nice to return to our mid west North American friends been too long the prairies are a beautiful part of the world.
be careful with early age linguistics.. My first son is phonetically dsylexic because of hearing the french and english. Make sure they learn to read and write in ONE language before moving onto others. Reading and writing is in a different part of the brain than speaking.
The temporal lobe takes care of the phonological awarenes and decooding sounds, the frontal lobe is in charge of speech production reading fluency and grammar (yep.. brain needs grammar.. :c)) and the ANgular and suprmarignal gyrus are the reading nexus parts of the brain. Its what links the letters to the sounds to the words that we’re reading.
Enlightened thought eh??? What exactly are you thinking of? Psychosomatic psychology or jumping straight in with the Tetrahedron Model? Again, welcome, and dont forget, your beautiful daughter is also a child xxx
Thank you kindly for the advice. The Information Age is so vastly different: My is wife is a native mandarin speaker. I speak in Canadian English. I try to be pragmatic in my approach while fusing 3 continents into her thoughts processes. Victoria regardless will always be an English girl. I can set the stage and theatre for growth and development. This medium supporting that of higher Education, plainly speaking can only be a positive. Reading tea leaves aside, I don’t discount that at all we will do what we have always done within our way of life. ABC s are fine, reingaging in North American thought is always reassuring to me and to maintain a stable and diverse family setting etc. The South of France sounds lovely however. Thank you for you reply once again
At the moment a silent popular rage is having the beep kicked out of it by violent police armed with flashballs. Citizens are being maimed and even on the TV its finally being called a protest against ‘the elite’.

Good advice! My dearly departed BIL was Argentine, so of course English was his 2nd language. Won’t go into the WiFi aspects of it, but, he had a stroke on the left side of his brain.
His rehab was very aggravating for him because his Spanish was a wreck, yet his English unscathed.
Fasinating.. I didnt think about where language is stored.. https://www.nature.com/articles/40623
Sorry to hear of the lose, I hope your doing well strokes are not easy we have a family member had a severe stroke at 39 very difficult you are very strong Bryce.
I hope your son dyslexia is getting better with age. I didn’t realized you are in south of France. Great pioneer in language and ear connection was Alfred Tomatis MD. He was a French otolaryngologist who produced so called electronic ear, a device used in various neuro-developmental diseases. You got to read his autobiography The Conscious Ear.

My daughter married a German. Dad spoke German to the kids, Mom spoke English. The kids are great, slip with ease to either and get top marks in both languages in school.
