Parents Share Experiences on National Language Day!
Posted by Carina BlackwellLanguage Days at the United Nations is to increase awareness and respect for the history, culture and achievements of each of the six working languages among the UN community. To celebrate National Language Day on April 22nd, we invited Unquowa parents Mrs. Toolan, Mrs. Frost and Ms. Waterhouse to share their experiences about when they moved to the United States. They shared the benefits of being bilingual and discussed with Upper School students the obstacles they meet coming here without speaking the language. “A language can block understanding between people, the study of a second language opens the mind, the eyes and the understanding that a person who does not speak our language has a perception distinct from ours, a perception that we cannot understand each other without sharing a common language.” We would like to thank the parents who came to school and supported our language learners in knowing the importance of learning a second language. Good job, Gators!
