The article I decided to read was "From car sales to prostitution: phonological fun in every day life," from the link http://literalminded.wordpress.com/2005/10/ This article's main topic was on phonology, or the study of the sound systems of a language. Phonology is very important when learning another language. It's rather easy to memorize words and grammar of a second language. The hard part is being able to disregard the rules of your own language and apply the new rules of the new language, especially if your own language has an accent. Through time the accent will go away, but it's usually the last stage of learning, and it could take a number of years.
