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…».

Mediation challengeBuild a bridge for someone

Read a classmate's routine and tell the group one thing you have in common.

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 →
