Language is a very complex system with some simple definitions. Merriam-Webster defines language as:

-The system of words or signs that people use to express thoughts and feelings to each other

-Any one of the systems of human language that are used and understood by a particular group of people

No matter which definition you use, language is a very powerful thing. Whether it is spoken, written, read, or signed, we use it everyday to communicate and express ourselves. If it weren’t for language, it would be near impossible to communicate with each other.

At CreativeMornings/Cincinnati, we are just 1 of the 130 chapters across the globe. The chapters span 55 counties from Edmonton, Canada all the way to Auckland, New Zealand, with over 40 languages spoken! Yet we all gather once a month in our cities, for coffee and a breakfast lecture. Technology and Google Translate make it possible for us all to communicate with each other; no matter what language we speak, and that is a very powerful thing!

Join #CMCin for our next lecture on January 29, as we enjoy some coffee and pastries and delve more into the phenomenon of language.
