The students often gather together in small, closed groups. If you are not part of a group, it can be difficult for you to be accepted. This is especially true if you can?t speak to the members of the group in their language.
This was the situation Sam faced each day as he went to class. Sam and his family moved to France last month. Before he arrived, he knew there would be many difficulties. But they were even worse than he had imagined.
Every lunch hour, after arriving at his new school, Sam sat alone in the dining hall. He looked at all the different groups of students around him. But he had no way to let them know that he was a good person. He simply couldn?t find the right words to reach them.

A world without time or number
The Piraha are an Amazonian tribe (部落) of hunter-gatherers who live deep in the Brazilian rainforest. The tribe has kept their culture undamaged for centuries, although there are now only around 200 left. The Piraha, who communicate mainly through hums and whistles, have interested ethnologists (人种学者) for years, mainly because they have almost no words for numbers. They use only three words to count: one, two, and many.
We know about the Piraha thanks to an ex-hippy, Dan Everett, now a professor of
language, who spent seven years with the tribe in the 1970s and 1980s. Everett discovered a world without numbers, without time, without words for colors and without a past tense. Their language, he found, was not just simple grammatically; it only had several sounds and they were different between the men and women. For the men, it has just eight consonants (辅音) in the words and three vowels (元音); for the women, who have the smallest number of speech sounds in the world, it has seven consonants and three vowels. To people from other places, the language sounds more like humming than speech. The Piraha can also whistle their language, which is how men communicate when hunting.
The Piraha can?t write, have little common memory, and no idea of decorative art. In 1980 Everett tried to teach them to count: he explained basic numbers to a group who wanted to
learn the skills needed to trade with other tribes. After eight months, not one could count to ten;
