Chapter Eight: Music and Language
Manage episode 324971919 series 2948445
Around 90% of the world’s languages are tonal, meaning that unlike English, Spanish, or German, tone patterns are used to distinguish words and inflections. Speakers of tonal languages like Mandarin are more likely to develop perfect pitch, meaning they can tell what note is being played, without needing to hear another for reference.
In this episode, Héctor and Elaine explore music, tone, and its relationship to language learning.
