Lek's Academic Interests

I am interested in linguistic. It is enjoyable to study different languages and also an excellent use of free time. Even though learning a new language can be challenging, it would give individuals a strong sense of achievement if they can master the new language. A good example from my experience was when I studied very hard to pass the IELTS exam. I got a very low score in all four components, listening, reading, writing and speaking. After a few months of hard study I was able to get high score in all four tasks ... to be continued tomorrow :)

  1. Linguistic is quite interesting!
    I love studying new languages too^^
    Well, I used to study German and Japanese.
    Studying languages helps to understand other people's culture and behavior as well.

    Cheer up for your next IELTS Exam^^

  4. Lek,
    Do you know Steven Pinker, a professor at Harvard who has written some great stuff on cognitive science and linguistics, especially where they meet?
