Speaking in Tongues

The video that we watched last week in class, looked at different students that are in immersion classrooms. Either Chinese or Spanish. They followed traditional and non traditional students to see how learning other languages can help them out. So even had the opportunity to travel to the country they were studying. It just goes to show how learning another language can set you apart from the rest. And in a global world that we live in today it is almost crucial that you are able to speak more then one language. It also showed a very interesting part of the story. They showed how learning a second language can help with their family life. Some of the kids learning the language were better able to speak to elders like grandparents and uncles and aunts that could only speak the one language. It gave those kids a chance to have an even deeper bond with these individuals. All and all it showed that learning a second language is a great skill to have this day in age.
