Thanks KathyM. I look forward to the video. There is much to the expression that "language is culture and culture is language". I believe it is spiritual and for many who are disconnected from their language the loss is deep and only the language can bring the healing one seeks.

People are compelled for good reason to learn the national language(s) of the country they wish to become a citizen member but I don't think they should leave their other language behind in the process. I also think it remains a strength of a nation that embraces multi-lingualism. It is going to be more and more important in the future. English only countries are going to be at a huge disadvantage moving forward if they don't teach their children other languages. They say if you learn a second language as a child your brain is better trained to learn more languages throughout your life. oppps.... I think I am repeating myself now.
Thanks for this!
