Introducing the children

Children studying at a multilingual primary school in the UK introduce themselves and their languages in this video.

Meet a teacher and some of the children from our featured school who introduce themselves and talk about the languages they speak.

This Week you’ll be exploring the wide range of multilingual experience and its impact on identity.

Reenaz shared which languages the children in her class speak. Tell us which languages you routinely encounter in the Comments area.
