Language bridge · plurilingual and intercultural

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

English ↔ SpanishNotice the difference

can + verb, without «to»: I can use Excel (not «I can to use»).

Other languagesFrench · Portuguese · Italian · German

Curriculum vitae is Latin («course of life»). In Canada and the U.S. it is often called a résumé, a word from French.

Observe, compare, reflectIntercultural

Many Canadian CVs do not include a photo, age or marital status; many Honduran CVs do. Why could that be?

Mediation challengeBuild a bridge for someone

Help a classmate translate the section titles of their CV.

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 →
