Neil Harbisson is completely colorblind but has developed an "eyeborg" device that allows him to perceive color as sound. The eyeborg, developed with Adam Montandon, uses a camera mounted on Harbisson's head to detect colors and translate them into specific musical pitches that Harbisson hears. Now Harbisson experiences the world through a unique combination of visual and auditory perception, saying "I receive color through the bone, and I’m listening to you through the ears." His device has helped him appreciate color in new ways and sparked interest from other artists exploring color and sound.

There are several types of collocations that combine words in natural ways for native English speakers. Collocations are two or more words that often go together, such as "fast train" or "quick shower". Learning collocations makes language more natural, helps with expression, and is easier for the brain to process than single words. Collocations can be learned through awareness, treating them as chunks, reading extensively, and using dictionaries that list collocations.

Every language has its own collection of wise sayings. They offer advice about how to live and also transfer some underlying ideas, principles and values of a given culture / society.

The document also discusses fixed expressions that have clear meanings in one language but require different expressions when translated. Overall, the document introduces idioms, provides examples to illustrate how their meanings differ from the literal words, and notes challenges that can occur when translating idioms across languages.
This document discusses pronunciation in English, specifically content words versus grammar words and sentence stress.

Sentence stress gives English its rhythm, and stressing different words can change a sentence's meaning. Examples are provided of sentences with various words stressed. The document encourages practicing stress patterns through poems, limericks and copying audiobook readers.
