One of the things I admire about countries outside of the United States is the emphasis on language education. I have always envied people who were taught multiple languages at an early age and are multilingual.
I grew up in rural Montana, and the local Hutterites were fluent in German and taught their children German as a first language. This fascinated me. I loved hearing their accents. Trips to the Hutterite colony for fresh produce coupled with a friend's exchange student from Germany are where my interest in languages began.
In most European countries, students begin learning second languages early on in school and most individuals, child or adult, are able to effectively communicate in their second language if not also in a third and fourth. In Canada, almost all of the provinces have total immersion programs set-up. Most people realize at this point that learning a second language is crucial, but for some reason, the United States has yet to significantly increase language programs.
In the midst of learning and acquiring English as a second language, Fiji-Hindi speakers are already losing their first language, nearing language death.

Kohn 2013 Intercultural communicative competence: an English as a lingua fran...Kurt Kohn
In my presentation, I focus on the roots of intercultural communicative competence in ordinary everyday communication. I first trace the development of models of communicative competence from Hymes (1972) to Canale & Swain (1980) and Leung (2004). Against this background, I introduce the social-constructivist "My English" condition (Kohn 2011) according to which learners acquire English by developing their own versions of it in processes of individual and collaborative creative construction. I then discuss the nature of non-native speaker English from the perspective of ownership in a globalized world of communication seemingly torn between foreign language learners’ orientation towards Standard English and the requirements of communication in English as a lingua franca (ELF). In their attempt to establish a ‘third space’ of intercultural communication, lingua franca users of English are faced with the challenge of learning to explore and trust their own non-native speaker creativity in collaborative processes of accommodation and meaning negotiation. As an illustration I use examples from an ELF corpus of critical incident discussions.

Schema.org generates schemas that webmasters can use to markup HTML pages for search engine recognition.

The words, "Dutch culture" tend to evoke imagery of windmills, wooden clogs, fields of colorful tulips and, to some, Amsterdam's Red Light District and Coffeeshops. What doesn't typically come to mind are avant-garde cuisine or innovative farming practices. However, sustainable farming practices and the reinvention of traditional foods are slowly creating a food revolution in the Netherlands.
Translation has always been the great enabler of communication between nations allowing for the transfer of meaning across daily business, cultural, and religious activities.

It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
