Miracles of Human Language is a great introductory course for those who want to get into linguistics, but it is also an amazing course for writers, teachers, psychologists and all lifelong learners interested in a topic.Im very grateful to Prof. Dr Marc van Oostendorp, his students and everyone who was involved in creating this course. I also want to say thanks to coursera team for making this course available for so many learners.This course inspired me to start learning Spanish and French (I now spend some time on duolingo.com every day, and with a great pleasure).Also, after finishing this course, I felt confident enough to start an important writing project (a book for children with a goal to prevent child abuse, the book is in Russian).In this course the idea of changing the world with your words is presented in such a simple and convincing way, that its impossible to resist. I think this course made me a better teacher, a better writer and a happier person.
