On Tuesday morning, we had learnt outside class at University of Otago. We attended to listen The Three Minute Thesis competition program. It had six Master’s degree and PhD. students participated to speech. It was an enjoyable, interesting and unforgettable experience.  The candidates were the best presenters.

For instance once of the topic is  “How is the concept of silence used in peace and conflict studies journals?” It was presented by Kalika Kastein, PhD.National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, Division of Humanities. T

Why he was learning foreign languages, how he did it? Tom Doner is an American who can speak many languages. He has been teaching himself languages since he was 13-year-old. Now, he has achieved his goal in nearly 23 languages.  He used to be a child actor. It brought him to find out of a gift for accent while he was going to auditions for radio commercials. Consequently, he interested to start learning French at the beginning, and then Latin, Hebrew, Pashto, Ojibwe, and another. There is a saying from Nelson Mandela that Tom Doner was talking at Tedx Talks in 2014 said: “ If you talk to a man in a language he understands  that goes to his head.  If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart ”.  That was the main reason why he has learnt languages.

He takes each of those words and inste
