Love Languages Profiles
Check this out!
A Project by the Language Institute at UW-Madison
Love Languages Profiles, a recipient of a WAFLT Special Projects Grant, presents a diverse compilation of current and former language students from UW-Madison sharing their language learning experiences, opportunities, career plans and most importantly, why they are so passionate about languages. The profiles include a mix of twenty ancient, modern and indigenous languages and present multiple perspectives on most of these. This site is a great advocacy tool for language teachers of all levels and languages to help promote the necessity and joy of continued language learning. The profiles provide powerful evidence of how languages enrich our lives and how language learning can even become addictive--the majority of the profiled students command multiple languages and aspire to learn even more. Please share this information with your students, parents, colleagues, school board, friends and fellow linguaphiles to help promote the importance of language learning!
