Those who argue that learning a new language is a waste of time as most of the world already speaks English are missing the point, as are those who say it’s enough to rely on Google Translate. Learning another language is the gateway into other cultures, histories and mindsets.
Tomorrow we are hosting our first “polyglot conference”. Students in year7 will take part in workshops to improve their cultural & linguistic knowledge.
We are lucky to have activities in Italian 🇮🇹 & Japanese 🇯🇵 Two yr11 students have returned to run a workshop in Ukrainian 🇺🇦
In our latest #CIOLVoices blog, Alexa Polidoro picks up the story of the recently published book ‘The English language doesn’t exist – it’s just badly pronounced French’, which caused some controversy. @FrenchWithAlexa poses the question ‘Why should learners be interested in linguistics and the history and evolution of languages?’ and draws interesting reflections on the sometimes tense relationship between French and English.

Time to spare this weekend? Our Online Conference presentations from March are now on a playlist on our YouTube channel.
Watch an engaging keynote from Susie Dent on the importance of emotional vocabulary, a fascinating Q&A with Maha El-Metwally, a popular session on the intertwining of culture and gastronomy in translation by Giulia Lucania, and the transformative potential of linguists in language learning by Michelle Sheehan. There were insights from Bozena Pajak’s Duolingo on language acquisition and Adam Wooten on varied roles for linguists. Enjoy!

⭐️ I am really excited that I will be Head of the Welsh Department and Bilingualism in September. ⭐️ You are never too old to learn! If I learned Welsh three years ago, then so can you learn something new.
Looking forward to our Olympic themed summer French camp in sunny Grappenhall that will combine sporting activities with French language study. 🇫🇷🤾#kidsactivities#schoolholidays#holidayclub

Some of you might already have realized, but I LOVE #linguistics.
#Languages are constantly evolving, with a new word created roughly every 98 minutes! This means there are endless opportunities for learning, even if you only speak one language. 😉
