Language Is Our Music - Paperback
Yo Sakakibara sets forth his revolutionary ideas about language acquisition, from charming anecdotal stories of language acquisition in children to the scientific investigation of vowel sounds; from meditations on musical scales to a philosophical examination of what it means to be human. Sakakibara's theories have been put into action at LEX / Hippo Family Club language clubs where members of all ages sing the sounds of language to acquire multiple languages in a natural, fun, supportive, immersion-style environment. Foreword by Dr. Suzanne Flynn, MIT Professor of Linguistics and Language Acquisition.
