Learning about the history of words, the formation of sentences, origins of certain words or phrases and the general grammatical structures of language is so important to understanding people. It is a beautiful experience to be able to link various aspects and structures of language.

Despite not being a requirement for my major, this was my favorite course at UCT. I thoroughly enjoyed the intricacies of language-development as well as the vocal aspects of this subject.
