Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Buongiorno, Guten Tag…
Every year on the 26th September we celebrate plurilinguism on the European Day of Languages – plurilinguism means being able to speak many languages.
Click on the picture to play some language games. See how well you do!
Some of the German classes have been working with the book Tintenherz this term – those of us who don’t speak German will know it better as Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke. The back wall of the library is now covered in pieces of artwork and writing inspired by Tintenherz, as well as some lovely photos of students reading the book (in both German and English). We have plenty of copies of Inkheart in the library, as well as the sequels, if you want to read it for yourself.
NEWSEUM
The Newseum, in Washington DC, is a museum of newspapers. They have a website where, amongst other things, you can look at today’s front pages for newspapers from all around the world. Click on the logo to go to the page where you can search by map, then click on the coloured dots to look at newspaper front pages.
This could be handy for Modern Studies, Modern Languages or even to compare opinions for discursive essays in English.
