Students in Maltese school are all bilingual and want to learn third , fourth or fifth languages- they told me that it gives them an understanding of of the world if they learn the language which IS the culture. Such a beautiful place.

Super blog about multilingualism.

This message from Denise Amankwah should underpin all the work we do as educators.

'we cannot assume we already know what meaningful inclusion looks like from a young person’s perspective.

We need to ask them.'

After a summer of sun, travels and great gardening, I’m ready for the next term. Refreshed by a day at my favourite hidden cove in Cornwall.

Fave word is Eichhörnchen For the way it sounds in my mouth. Best trip was my year abroad as part of my degree. Germany simply became my home and I left my heart there when I came back to UK.
My German teacher was legendary. Frank Hardhill I’m sure he did something incredible in a previous role.

German does yearning so well. ’Fernweh’, ‘far-sickness’, is the longing for distant places, while ‘Sehnsucht’ is a wistful desire for something intangible. #shoutoutforgerman

Very proud of my son who went to his first political party meeting with our local MP on Saturday. He loved it!

At the weekend I was lucky enough to go to language learning conference. I was even luckier to go to a session on being anti-racist. I cannot stop thinking about it. Both sessions were so thought provoking, now to action!

Has anyone ever seen the original of this document. We are trying to find the author and also an original copy. It used to be in a set. Does anyone have it? Or know where it comes from? #mfl
