There are many ways in which the phenomena of language and culture
are intimately related. All phenomena are unique to humans and have【M1】________
therefore been the subject of a great deal of anthropological, sociological,
and even memetic study. Language, of course, is determined by culture.
For many people, language is not just the medium of culture but also the【M2】________
part of culture. It is quite common for immigrants from a new country to【M3】________
retain their old customs and to speak their first language amid fellow
immigrants, even if all of present are comfortable in their new language.【M4】________
This occurs because the immigrants are eager to preserve their own heritage,
which includes not only customs and traditions but also language. This is
also seen in many Jewish communities.
Linguistic differences are also often seen as mark of another culture, 【M5】________
and they very commonly create divisiveness among neighboring peoples but【M6】________
even among different groups of the same nation. A good example of this is
in Canada, where French-speaking natives of Quebec clash with the
English-speaking majority. This sort of conflict is also uncommon in the【M7】________
areas with a great number of tribal warfare. It is even becoming an issue in【M8】________
America as speakers of standard American English—mainly whites and

It is natural to feel uncomfortable in a language class. You\’re used to
being in classes where the mode of communication—the language of
instruction—is giving. In a language course, however, it is the mode of【M1】________
communication itself which is the focus of instruction. For this reason, a【M2】________
language course is different from most other courses you will ever take. Not
understanding and making mistakes—things that are positive learning 【M3】____________
indicators in other courses—are a very natural part of the language learning
process. Accept the fact that you will not understand anything. In fact, at【M4】____________
the very beginning, you will not understand most at all. 【M5】____________
Remember that during the initial period of adaptation, your ear and
mind are adjusting with the sounds and the rhythm of the language. Though【M6】____________
