Have you heard of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (AKA the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis)? Simply put, it's an unproven theory which proposes that your native language decides to a large degree how you view reality, the world, life and everything. Is this possible?

Can native Chinese speakers automatically have a different view of reality than native English speakers just because of their language? How might this view be different for native speakers of Japanese? French? Spanish? German?

What about our native language affects our world view? How does it affect it? Do we have any control over it? Can learning new languages open our world view?

Let's have a fascinating conversation with Kebed, Popcorn Club's resident linguist, and let's have a great and enlightening time doing it!

沃尔夫假说又称作语言相对论假说，这个未经证实的理论认为，你的母语在很大程度上决定了你如何看待现实、世界、生活和一切。你同意吗？

以中文为母语的人会不会因为中文而与以英语为母语的人对现实有不同的看法？以日语、法语、西班牙语、德语为母语的人的世界观有何不同？

母语如何影响我们的世界观？我们能学会控制这种影响吗？学习新语言能打开我们的世界观吗？

让我们与Popcorn Club的常驻语言学家Kebed进行一次有趣深入的对话，让我们度过两小时美好而富有启发性的时光吧！
