Here's the main idea: We often think of language as talking, but there are lots of ways to share information and feelings without saying a single word.
Here are some examples discussed in the lesson:
- Emojis: Those little pictures we use in texts and online are a way to show how we feel. Most people find them easier to use than just words.
- Hieroglyphics: Ancient Egyptians used pictures to write. It's a very old way of communicating without speaking.
- Sign Language: People who are deaf use their hands and body to talk. Different countries have different sign languages.
