In general, I doubt those who categorize their languages as "civilized" or "savage".

Re: Whistling

Start whistling, then move your tongue towards the back of your mouth. The pitch will get lower and lower, and eventually you'll stop whistling altogether. My conclusion from this experiment is that yes, you do need your tongue to whistle.

Well, after a few weeks (she grades very slowly), she gives them back and said, "I didn't mark this part as wrong because over half the class mistook たくさん for Mr. Taku."
