The European Day of Languages for 2013 is now done and dusted. Overall the week was very successful. Pupils were able to learn how languages can be useful in the real world, why they learn French and grow their appreciation for language learning. However, you do not need to just take my word for it here is a report written by two S2 pupils who also enjoyed the week’s activities:
H McBride
“In French for The European Day of Languages we looked at different ways people use language in everyday life. We watched a clip about foreign people being in the same football team. The clip was quite interesting and funny. Then we looked at the reasons for learning a different language. Our class thinks it is a good idea to learn a language so you can flirt with foreign people. Next we learnt why we should learn French. The last thing we did was we learnt about the percentages of people who can speak a different language. This was quite interesting and we learnt things we didn’t know.
We thought the lesson was really interesting because we learnt things about languages that we didn’t know. It was great fun to get involved.”
