absolutely intrigued<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Let us hear from Issa Assaf<\/a>, who is a Jordanian student and is doing an exchange semester at RheinAhrCampus<\/a>. He will explain the role English plays in Jordanian everyday life. Issa explains how as a child he got motivated to learn English well. Apparently television played a very important role in this \u2013 as for many people who have learned a language well.<\/p>\n

absolutely bicultural<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Thomas Brown is a person who grew up bilingually with an Austrian mother and an English father. What was it like for him to grow up with two languages? It sounds like at first he only learned his mother\u2019s language German, while when he went to school he moved on to only speaking English. Thomas points out that it was not only about the language but also about culture \u2013 for example they had a traditional Austrian \u201cStube\u201d<\/a> instead of an English living room and he felt bi-cultural because even their family life had always been a little different from other English families.<\/p>\n

absolutely inspiring<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>It is true that when we discuss bilingualism <\/a>we may concentrate a little too much on the fact that people have two languages and tend to forget that that they have often also grown up in two different cultures. Issa explains how the power of language will affect our lives and how we can develop a more positive aspect on life by using a different kind of language.<\/p>\n
