Language is Culture in Motion

Language can be used as a tool for overcoming powerlessness. It can also be a social gift.  If we are committed to helping children learn to communicate with each other they will grow to become adults adept at negotiating peace, goodwill, and learn to be people who will care for the survival of our globe as a whole. Learning to speak another's language can mean reaching out to others across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Language is more than just a system to be explained, it is one of the most important links to the world and its people. Language is not only culture in motion, it is also the beauty of sharing. People interacting with people makes for a respectful human community allowed to see life through each others eyes.
