Language bridge · plurilingual and intercultural

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

English ↔ SpanishNotice the difference

Age: I am 19 (to be) · Tengo 19 años (tener). Don't say «I have 19 years».

Other languagesFrench · Portuguese · Italian · German

How old are you?: Quel âge as-tu ? (FR) · Quantos anos você tem? (PT) · Quanti anni hai? (IT) · Wie alt bist du? (DE). French, Portuguese and Italian use «have», like Spanish; German uses «be», like English.

Observe, compare, reflectIntercultural

Dates: the U.S. writes month/day/year (03/10/2006 = March 10); Honduras writes day/month/year. A small difference that can change a deadline!

Mediation challengeBuild a bridge for someone

Read a classmate's fact card and tell another classmate 3 facts: name, city and career.

Your languages count: ask at home or in your community how to say it in Garífuna, Miskitu, the English of the Bay Islands or any other language you know, and add it to your glossary. Add it to «My languages» in your Passport →
