For blog 7 I'm going to go back to my blog 5. In which my article was about dying dialects in Mexico. Like i say before Mexico is not the only country the is loosing its languages. Across seas in Paris there is only one native speaker of "Lionama"; close to home we are also loosing languages. In Alaska "Eyak" language was extinct five years when the last person who spoke this language die.According to an article that i read is estimate that one language dies every 14 days around the world. people who speak different language the switch to more global languages like English and Spanish.

While reading chapter 5 five, The Meaning of life I decided to explore idioms. Idioms are a group of words that native English speakers use to say phrases. Idioms don't really mean what it says. English idioms would be hard to be understood by a non native English speaker. According to the book they can not be translated in other language literally.
