There is a huge loss of language within Ojibwe culture from when the elders were much younger (such as 40 years ago) to our generation now. It was one of the many losses within our culture that has been the hardest to try and bring back.

Learning a new language is a rewarding experience that opens doors to new cultures, perspectives, and opportunities. While there are many ways to study a language, immersing yourself in the environment where it is spoken is one of the most effective methods. For those eager to learn Spanish, there's no better place to do so than Spain. This vibrant country offers not only a chance to master the language but also to experience its rich culture, history, and traditions firsthand.
The Punjabi language is the mother tongue of Punjab. It has a rich history. Before partition of India in 1947, there were two groups of Punjabi speakers: Punjabis living in western Punjabi (which is now part of Pakistan), and Sikhs living in East Punjab (which is now part of India). The Punjabi language first developed in the 10th century and gained prominence. The Punjabi language was adversely affected by the arrival of the British in 1849, because they emphasized the development of their own language, English, instead of the Punjabi language.
Although it can be among the toughest things to do, learning a language can give individuals a sense of achievement like none other. A lot of work, patience, effort, and dedication goes into getting to grips with a new dialect, but it can be gratifying once it has been achieved.

Hi! We’re Rich and Kate. Three years ago, we decided to leave our cosy, normal lives back in the UK to go and find something different. That ‘different’ was a new life as teachers in South East Asia. After some time, we decided that we would like to share some of our experiences with anyone who had similar interests to us, and so, the twotravellingteflers adventure was born. We offer a tiny look into our lives of travel, TEFL, and Thailand.
The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota has provided high-quality professional development for language teachers for over two decades.

Each institute is highly interactive and includes discussion, hands-on activities, and networking.
Only 10 pieces of personal mail are received each year by the average American household. With that number including holiday cards and invitations, there isn’t much room left for letters. It is no longer commonplace for one to write or receive a handwritten letter in the mail, but many believe it is a beautiful gesture.
