Hi there! My name is Anika Rose and I post videos every Tuesday. I like to call myself a culture and communication enthusiast. Ever since I could speak, I asked questions about the world around me. Why do we say this? What do other people say? Why do we pronounce words like this? What does this word mean? How can we communicate effectively? In an effort to answer these, I studied speech and language therapy in university, as well as French, and moved to France and then Germany. Through this journey, I kindled my interest in language and culture, especially my own native English and North American culture. I believe that through effective communication and a deeper understanding of culture we can build a more beautiful world. I hope you follow along through the linguistics, etymology, history, and comparison of languages and cultures to learn more about ourselves, our community, and our beautiful world.
