Symbols of support and hope are important, especially to those who are feeling alone and despair. Chapeaux la France! Que ce geste illumine le chemin vers la paix et un fessez-le-feu!
Truth matters

Zelenskyy has returned to Europe hailed as a hero that interrupted the concertina solo of a convicted criminal

I have to say my French 11 & 12 IB students were FANTASTIQUES role playing Canada’s political party reps responding to student-generated questions tout en français! Questions pertained to: le changement climatique, l’économie, la justice sociale et la santé. #LangSky #LangChat #FSLchat

An MIT study of polyglots found the brain’s language network responds more strongly when hearing languages a speaker is more proficient in — and much more weakly to the speaker’s native language.
