Blog #1- Yanyuwa: 'Men speak one way, women speak another'

Ok, so I'm not use to doing this type of stuff, so please bare with me until I become a little more comfortable with these reflections.

After reading this article I was very fascinated by the way the children were raised and how there language would have to change (depending on their gender). I could only imagine how difficult it would be to learn a certain language from birth till adolescence, and then if you were male you would have to learn how to speak using the male dialect. It must be very confusing for the young men to have to go through this when they are also going through many other things. It is also interesting to learn how they don't know why they speak two different languages..
