ethnic minorities!!!

Where does that leave bilingual and tri-lingual people, ie. people who have two languages from day one?

In that case you have more than one view of the world or in other words - a more complete view of reality.  And in accordance - the more the better.

 

I almost never studied 

I'm not so sure, the school i attended (international school), literaly everyone was at least bi-lingual, and it wasn't exactly a bastian of intelligence.
Though granted, from age 13 onwards, i've never attended a school where mono-glots where the majority, at least not untill Uni, but seeing as Uni Students are drunk half the time, accurate intelligence estimates are impossible.

Well I have a class where there are unilingual people and the immigrant bilingual kids usually succeed better, even in their languages' class (example: French class).

Poland doesn't have that many minorities, they just have some polish dialect groups liek the Kashubs or the Pomeranians or the Highlanders, stuff liek that. And i believe that the ethnic minorities(Germans, Ukrainiens, Belorussians) also have lots of rights.

Bah. I speak 4 languages, giving that my well-mastered German/English overshadow the other two, and make me want to forget French all together.

And smart people like Cywr are prone to spelling errors when you make them think.

what a wonderful roll of discussion and opinion, that did not receed into "I got chaste?", or I got more than you?

Loved it, did I!

But, bi-lingual students, shoud do better! I feel that students imersed in both Latin and Greek, should well respond better to a open education, than persons like me, who did not learn either and who might well not ever be able to do the same!~

But, when I was in school, Latin was just an easy way to get a "foreign" language requirement!

In those days, my life was most concerned with my golf game, bridge, drinking, and women!

A wasted youth!

But, I can curse in Spanish!
