Learning languages is essential to open our mind and to get to know people. In Europe our languages share a common root : The Indoeuropean, but we also borrow and lend words, all the languages are full of borrowings from other languages around.
Try to think aboout a word that is used in other language and yours and you will find it for sure. Ej: Sandwitch, hobby (Spanish) / siesta, cafeteria (English)
This year we will celebrate it in school too with exhibitions of book and the investigations of our students in the hall.
In 1st of ESO we are going to do two tasks:
· Portmanteau words / blendings (acrónimos)
The students make a small card bending the right and left of a small cardboard and put the blending inside in the middle and the two words that form it on both sides. They can write real blendings or one that they invented
To learn what an acronym is you can read the post I wrote about it some years ago in this blog
· Proverbs (refranes)
The students look for a proverb in Spanish and then llok for the equivalent in a European language. They write the two versions of the proverb on a cardboard
We will exhibit all the ativities in the hall of school
Join the Languages Party all over Europe!
