Hello Elena and students!

Let me invite you to read our class blog post about the European Day of Languages.

701 Reasons to Study a Foreign Language

I believe there are so many reasons to learn a foreign language. How about yours?

Thank you, Claudia, fir a very interesting link :)
I guess that my reasons for learning Foreign Languages don`t differ much from these 700...
But, first of all, I learn them for pleasure: I adore English, I get an immence satisfaction when I speak it, I wish to learn Spanish and French, too :)
And, of course, the fact that it broadens my mind and my perspectives is of great importance, too :) It also enables me to communicate with the foreigners, what really is exiting, and very important for me: my cousin-in-law is a foreigner, and I also wish English helped me to make friends abroad!
it also enables me to read literature in the original - is that not exciting?!
Foreign Languages and the ability to learn and use them is nothing but a miracle!

Hi Lena!

That's very interesting, in Brazil there isn't a Day of Languages, which I think would be very important. After all (agreeing with Xena), learning and using a foreign language is a miracle, making of us, language teachers, miracle-working professionals
