- Wernicke’s area – this is located in the top rear portion of your brain’s temporal lobe.

It is often difficult to understand what the person is trying to say, especially since they are often unaware of their spoken mistakes. As a result, they often delete small words like “is”, “and” and “the”. To understand what the other person is saying requires all this, and other parts of the brain, too. If you are left handed, then most of the time, it is on the right side of your brain; but it can also be on the left side of your brain. Language is further divided into the reading of it, the understanding of it, the processing of it, and the speaking of it. If they are all working correctly, you will then be able to understand language and perform expressive language, which is the ability to produce language. Then different parts in the back and middle of your brain help you interpret the text. Then you need to interpret the individual words and the way they are strung in sentences by their context and meaning. If you are right-handed, most of the time, these areas are on the left side of the brain.
