I'm really interested in this kind of communications. I find it unique and special. In my opinion, if I have an opportunity to learn it , I will learn it to get a new experience because I might use it someday.
ReplyDeleteHi Samira,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. You are right, it's a very interesting subject, isn't it...
The way of communication is quite interesting, original and artless xD. Although it is an ancient language, it is still useful in long distance transform for short pieces of information. It is quite hard to distinguish for animals so it is helpful in hunting for the ancestor of people on this island. However, with the development of the global economic and more frequently communication, this language will be die out because of low information density, too informal and the disadvantaged of the speaker in international society

I enjoy watching this video.furthemore, this topic provides me with different sort of social communication that I never heared about it before, and I am quite surprised about the way that human being invented this Language to connect simply without too many requirements.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, by watching this video, it may let us think that such of these methods of communication could never be disappear in places where people appreciate the cultural treasure as a Language. I believe that beacuse I see different Languages nowadays which are not official or taught in schools but they are still used by people and be taught to children in houses and streets despite of modern technology . So, if you appreciate things even if it is abstract as a Language you definitely will keep it as long as you can because it is heritage and your responsibility demand you to keep it.
Whistling was Interesting language and intelligent idea to communicate with other people who is far a way . The geographical area help them, since there is a lot of mountains which make echo. In fact I like even the name which can be used for telecommunication company as brand name.
ReplyDeleteInteresting communication ways which I have never heard about. Moreover, a good practice for IELTS Listening Test.
ReplyDeleteI found the Whistling in La Gomera an interesting video because it shows different culture and how the people adopt with environment. Also it shows one of the oldest communication way .In addition to that, this movie remind me with an old documentary video I used to watch when I was 8 years old .
