There is a philosophical quote referring to children’s true and pure insight in contrast to adult’s complex ways when it comes to perceiving and analyzing issues: “Think like a kid and then you learn how to really live.”
 
No matter the objections to this expression, which may be many and have a strong foundation, the truth remains that more than once kids can surprise adults in the way in which they recognize the value of multiple aspects of life. This week’s Video-Fix is an example of why linguistic diversity is a reason for joy and not for stress when it comes to language learning. Languages can be learnt and the earlier we do it, the better. Linguistic diversity is a gift that deserves to be commemorated more than once. Happy European Language Day on 26th September, 2020!
