School Supplies
The Passionate Polyglot
This school year I’m privileged to be able to widen my linguistic repertoire and offer both German and Russian language classes here at SHS. This positive step forward necessitates a change in my weekly column in the “Knightly News”. “German Corner” is morphing into “The Passionate Polyglot”. What is a “polyglot”? A polyglot is a person who is multilingual. “Polyglot” is “полиглот” in Russian. German always has to be different and logical. “Polyglot” is “mehrsprachig” (more linguistic) . My hope for my students this year is that they all become “passionate polyglots” as they navigate the intricacies of the German and Russian languages and culture. I also hope that you all enjoy this new and improved column. Bis nächste Woche! Всего хорошего!
