What I hope to learn in this class is to learn how to be a better writer and reader. When I read a text I want to be able to understand the text and not have to read it 5 times to understand the reading.
What i hope to learn in this class is how to be a better writer and use that to develop a better understanding of critical thinking. Also i hope the articles we read may give me more knowledge about life.
I hope to learn in the fundamental concepts of language as it has always fascinated me seeing all the different languages and the different dialect’s for these languages. I hope to learn about the history of the major languages like English, Spanish, Arabic, etc.
I hope to learn more about language, its structures and it’s history and connections. Learning how to do all of these things will help me fine tune my writing and comprehension.
What I hope to learn throughout this course is to better understand and interpret readings and the concept of language in general
What I hope to learn in this class is to branch out in my knowledge and learn new things. I’ve never taken a class in linguistics and i don’t know what it’s about but i am excited to learn.
I want to learn about the history of language, how certain words were thought of, and how the language we speak today came about. I also wish to become a better writer and reader.
I hope to learn the basics of language and using my reading and writing skills to better my education in linguistics.
I hope to learn about the history of language and see how far we’ve come. I also most importantly want to learn how to sustain and improve language for the future.
In this class I hope to learn the background behind language and learn more about it because right now I don’t know anything about Linguistics.
I hope to learn new things about language history and widen my skills through the assignments and readings in this course.
i hope to learn more about the history of the language like what happened during the making of it and the stories behind the words. i think it would be interesting to see what goes into creating a language
In this class I would like to figure out how the language we speak today came to be. I’d like to learn how words were added and created through time and how each word meant to mean something different and unique from another word. How was language spread? Things of this nature.
I hope to learn the decline of certain languages and how they’re being archived so that they never get forgotten. I also hope to learn the evolution of languages overtime.
what i hope to learn in this class is the history of language, as well as how it was spoken back then. I’m also intrigued on learning linguistics since i’ve never taken the class before.
During this class, I hope to improve my writing and public speaking. I’m also excited to learn about Linguistics through the weekly readings/discussions and use these skills in the future.
What I hope to learn in this class is the history of language back then to now, modern language as well as improve the way I speak and the way I write, become better.
I hope to learn a bit more about the history of language and perhaps more about linguistic anthropology. I hope to learn more about the forgotten languages. I do also want to learn about folklore and if language has some sort of connection to it. Furthermore, on how languages are formed and continue to change.
I hope to further my understanding when it comes to the history of language and linguistics overall. I would like to pursue a career in education (English teacher), so I feel as if this course can give me great insight on how these languages evolved.
In this class I hope to learn about language and how it is associated with culture and society. I would also like to learn about the structure of a language and how it can be described.

I hope to learn in this course the fundamentals of language and how language differed several years back than now and inform myself with knew knowledge about different languages not just English and Arabic which are my first languages .
I want to learn how to be a better writer from this course. Also, I need to expand my dictionary and learn more information about books, etc.
I hope to learn about how language changed over time.
One thing in particular I hope to learn over the course of the semester is how language has been altered over time and the affects of how we interpret older works due to this
I took this class because I’m interested in learning how we (humans) evolved from what I assume were hand gestures and grunts into a structured language. I’m not sure if it will answer all my questions but it will get my foot in the door to find some answers such as why/how the American colonists lost their British accent, why Spanish in Spain is different than Spanish in Latin America, and why/how a phrase like, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.” has progressed into, “Hey shut up, and listen to me!” (Ok, maybe not an exact interpretation lol.)
I hope to learn about language, its history, how it impacts society and how it evolved overtime which can aide me in becoming a better communicator when it comes to working with other people.
i hope to learn more about how we use language to connect to others and express ourselves, as well as how that might vary across different languages with different meanings and thoughts. learning how language evolves and changes as well.
