I think anyone who wants to learn a language can learn a lot from Daniel Everett\u2019s case. Clearly learning the Pirah\u00c3\u00a3 is an incredible accomplishment in language learning; it\u2019s something that has only been accomplished by a few people and it\u2019s fraught with many difficulties. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u2019s no language in common, you don\u2019t have the ability to just pick up a book, you know, Pirah\u00c3\u00a3 101, and just read through it. There\u2019s the difficulties of living in the jungle and having to deal with cultural differences. Perhaps even situations where the people who are trying to teach you are not being as helpful or straightforward as you\u2019d like. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Some other ideas that I took from Everett&#8217;s language learning practice&#8230; <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">You should be immersed in the culture you\u2019re learning from. So clearly, it\u2019s not enough to just study in this abstract and removed place in the culture. Daniel Everett is living with these people and interacting with them and very often discovering that the language and the culture are not so separate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Another idea is to be unafraid to fail and have a sense of humor and this is something that that I think comes across very strongly in a video I saw of him practicing this mono-lingual fieldwork where he basically shows his fearlessness at trying out ideas, at pronouncing things wrong, making mistakes, and often he recounts stories where people will for instance teach him a word in a wrong way so that it\u2019s funny for them or basically they will deny him access perhaps to certain sets of speakers so he isn\u2019t able to get the explanation that he would like to have. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">On the value of anthropology&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Most people don\u2019t even have the ability to travel to another modern country for too, too long. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Therefore I think this book can fill in a gap&#8230;\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">My feeling is that many of the cultures we are in today, whether it\u2019s Canada where I live, or China or Europe or Australia or Brazil, they are different obviously, but there\u2019s so many cross-minglings, so many mixtures of ideas and theories and words and even just the idea that we\u2019re both living in sort of modern industrialized societies, all of these things create a situation where cultures are much more homogenized than they would otherwise be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">This can lead to the impression that there\u2019s certain human universals which perhaps they are actually contingent facts that are not actually parts of our deep, inherent nature but parts of how cultures have adapted to our shared environment or the shared challenges of living in cities, having agriculture and those sorts of things. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">On the idea of what I call, the &#8220;value trap&#8221;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the things I found in my own personal development is that you can often get into what I call a value trap. A value trap is where your own values, because they\u2019re invisible and because you cannot reflect on them, lead you into situations where there\u2019s contradictions. Where there are conflicts and paradoxes and situations where you believe one thing but you also believe another thing and those two things are incompatible and they create friction in a particular context and you are unable to resolve them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">So I think there\u2019s definitely a value to holding values, I wouldn\u2019t say that we should all become relativists and that nothing matters but I do think there\u2019s a benefit in being able to <i>see<\/i> one\u2019s own values. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">The <span class=\"s1\">Pirah\u00c3\u00a3<\/span> &amp; the immediacy of experience&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the things that really struck me in reading this book about the Piraha is their immediacy of experience principle and this is so contrary to how basically all of us live, that we all live very detached from our immediate experience. We accept authority, we accept stories and truths that we have not witnessed nor has anyone telling us witnessed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">We accept abstract ideas like money and mathematics and all these principles and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a bad thing. Perhaps in our environment, our culture is better. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But the idea isn\u2019t that one culture is better than the other but just to show that so many of these things that we take for granted as the <i>only<\/i> possible way of viewing the world, the <i>only<\/i> possible way of viewing our life, those might just be made up. They might be something that really, there are multiple ways of looking at something.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Feel free to join in on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/543802626007799\/?ref=bookmarks\"><span class=\"s2\">Facebook Group Discussion<\/span><\/a> I\u2019d love to discuss this book with you there, thanks.
