The other day in my Communications class, we were discussing culture gaps and the barrier language can create. It was a really interesting and at times very funny discussion, as the examples my class comes up range from Modern Family to That 70s Show. Needless to say, it’s probably my favorite class.<\/p>\n
Every student in the class has to give a presentation at one point during the semester that covers the material we’ve discussed in class that week. In these short presentations, the student picks a clip from a movie, show, or anything really, and explains what topics of the week are exemplified in the clip. One of this week’s presentations used this clip of the internet famous DJ Flula, who’s second language is English, from his on-going video series explaining why American idioms don’t make sense. The entire class (including my professor) thought it was hilarious. Had to share with you guys, enjoy!<\/p>\n
