Do you know another language? If so, you are lucky! Did you that being bilingual makes you smarter, have more job opportunities, makes it easier to travel, and helps you stay close with your family. As an ESL teacher at Westdale, I sometimes hear students say they don't like speaking another language. This breaks my heart because I know how lucky these students are to know another language. I wish my parents knew another language because then I would be bilingual.
Here are some tips on practicing the other language you know.
-Speak in that language with your parents or grandparents.
-Listen to music in that language. (This is one of the ways that I learned some Spanish - I love bachata, salsa, and merengue!)
-Check out books in that language.
-Watch tv in that language.
-Switch the language on video games to the other language you know. (I never knew this, but Angel just informed me. What a great tip! Thanks, Angel!)
¡Hasta luego!
