In Greece, school children march at the annual Ohi Day parade on 28 October, a public holiday.

In the Antipodes, Greek-Australian youth grow up learning all there is to know about Gallipoli, they may know that there is a link between Greek and Australian histories, but it is up to the parents and Greek schools to drum the message of Greek Resistance.

We asked young Greeks what Ohi Day means to them and what they know about the day.

Learning a foreign language allows children to become adept cross-cultural communicators and more tolerant citizens of the world.

We never can tell what loggerheads and disagreements we must have averted if we understand each other’s language and can communicate with one another.

Languages help children develop appreciation for other cultures: We love learning about the world and this is a good way to teach children about countries and the languages they speak. Languages help children develop an appreciation for the world around them, and cultures other than their own. It helps them realise that there is more out there than what we know here.

While kids can have fun learning bits and pieces from other languages, there are so many benefits of knowing how to speak another language, other than knowing how to speak them fluently.

Why your kids should learn a foreign language Getting your kids to learn a new language can be an exciting journey for them. It is never a waste even if they don’t become fluent. Instead, early exposure to foreign languages will make language acquisition easier later in life.....
