Week 1 Update - Welcome! - STARTALK '23

​​你好 [nihao]! Привет [privyet]! مرحبا [marhaba]! Hello!

​We hope that you’ve heard these words and more over the past week as students begin their study of a new language. Our entire staff was thrilled to welcome all of the new students into our program and help them to get acclimated to the language and culture they’ll be studying over these next few weeks.

​This week students in each class learned to greet each other and introduce themselves as well as some common school-related expressions. Students learned to identify their names written in their language’s script with some learning to write it themselves. Chinese students dipped their toes into Chinese calligraphy in their art class. Students of Russian learned about and colored traditional Matryoshka dolls, and Arabic students played games and began learning numbers up to 15!

Parents, thank you so much for your support and understanding this initial week as we all got used to our new surroundings and transportation. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns going forward.

Reminder that we will not be having classes this coming Monday and Tuesday (July 3 - 4) due to the Fourth of July holiday.

We hope that you are looking forward to these coming weeks as much as we are and to all the wonderful learning opportunities to come!
