Raring2go! EDUCATION 26 European Day of Languages Celebrated on 26th September, the European Day of Languages is designed to promote awareness of the importance of language learning and linguistic heritage. We spoke to Cecile Greener, a Haslemerebased private Tutor in French and Italian, for her top tips for promoting languages at home: Why not try: • Switching your kids’ favourite Netflix show to French (Paw Patrol … Miraculous… Enjoy!) • Set up tablets and devices to different languages? • Read a bit every night in local language if you can… • Practice numbers on the road, in supermarkets…numbers are everywhere, just read them out loud! • Cook pasta in Italian (www.galbani.it/) • Manners in Italian sound better …per favore, grazie …select a few and stick to them! Learning a foreign language is excellent for cognitive development, cultural awareness, and known to boost academic performance, social skills and future work opportunities. There are plenty of resources online as well… BBC bitesize is excellent! So keep it up and don’t be afraid to try! Worst case scenario... it works? Cecile Greener is a French and Italian private tutor, providing online and in person tutoring. www.facebook.com/profile. php?id=100063495280979
