A2 Summer Task

My area of interest for this investigation is the effect of alcohol on language.


The first article I found was about the effect of alcohol when learning a new language.

 This article highlights the point that grammar and pronunciation are redundant in such states.

The next source suggests that language abilities are reduced upon alcohol consumption because the toxin just makes us care less about what we  do and how we speak.
