What is multilingualism to you?

[Dutch] It means you speak more than one language, like me. Dutch, German and Portuguese. Multilingualism according to me is An environment where you have different countries coming together. Where every language has the same Value as the other ones [German] For me, multilingualism is actually completely normal. At least here we all speak several languages. Unfortunately I only speak two languages, though… I understand a few more, for example Dutch. But I don’t speak it. It should be completely normal. For me multilingualism is Understanding or speaking two or more languages in your daily life.

Smart. Being smart. Emotions. Being connected to your language and your emotions. And intercultural understanding as well. [Spanish:] Different languages, intercultural communication. Things like that. [Dutch:] Esperanto. [Dutch:] Travelling, making friends. Things like that.

[Dutch:]I feel a secret pride in being Frisian. I wouldn’t want it to die out as a language. So I’ll keep speaking it with my parents. [Spanish]: I think that, especially today… It’s very important, because it helps you understand different cultures. Mexican culture, for example, is related to the language. So if you study Mexican Spanish, you’ll understand more of the Mexican people. I believe nowadays it’s a very important and positive thing. [Dutch:]I think it’s a positive thing. It allows you to speak with more people on this planet. The more, the merrier. Positive. Definitely positive.
