Language bridge · plurilingual and intercultural

Use every language you know to learn English, and use English to understand other people.

English ↔ SpanishNotice the difference

Spanish changes the verb for every person (trabajo, trabajas, trabaja…). English changes only with he / she / it: she works.

Other languagesFrench · Portuguese · Italian · German

I work: je travaille (FR) · eu trabalho (PT) · io lavoro (IT) · ich arbeite (DE).

Observe, compare, reflectIntercultural

Household chores: who does what at home? Compare with respect: «In my home…», not «In Honduras everybody…».
