We Teach each other foreign languages

Students teach each other greetings and the basics to communicate with each other in various foreign languages they know.    This action focuses on students' knowledge and awareness of Foreign languages taking advantage of their Foreign language capacity by teaching their peers.   In this way, we promote the concept of plurilingualism which is a priority of the Council of Europe.  Students will share their teaching and learning experience.  Feel free to leave your comments.

It was interesting to learn Thai which we knew nothing about. Although we focused on speaking and pronunciation, we saw the written form of the language and we could see similarities but also differences especially with Thai.

More students' reflections

I taught French but the most difficult I found Thai.  It was the first time to hear it. I hope one day we do it again and learn more languages like Chinese and Japanese…. -           - Maria B21 What we did on the 26 th September was really amazing and felt like magic! It was a really interesting and learning experience. Not only did we learn about how to say some simple commonly used phrases, but we tried to write them as well. Some languages which weren’t inspired by Latin (like Thai) were really hard to speak and write. ...
