SPEAKING EYES

Breef content: |
If you speak only one language, do not feel upset. Simultaneously with your native language or perhaps even earlier, you have learned one more language - a visual one. A person perceives everything around through the eyes. The eyes "speak" their own special language. This language has letters, words and even grammar rules. Psychologists from Moscow State University have come to this conclusion. Their effort has been supported by the Russian Humanitarian Research Foundation.
