A very Happy European Day of Languages to everyone! As has become our French at Stirling tradition over the past few years, we’re taking today’s celebrations as a reason to find out more about the very wide range of languages students and staff across our modules speak. As in previous years, we have been impressed by the range and diversity of languages spoken, understood, read and enjoyed by everyone involved with French at Stirling.
So, in no particular order, here’s what we’ve found out so far this year: our students and staff speak: French (bien sûr), English, Urdu, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Russian, Irish Gaelic, German, Turkish, Scottish Gaelic, Ukrainian, Spanish, Czech, Italian, Polish, Armenian, Slovak, Latin, Portuguese, Romanian, Dutch…
To everyone who has already replied: merci, thank you, shukriya, ačiù, takk, Спасибо, go raibh maith agat, Danke, tesekkürler, Tapa leibh, Дякую, muchas gracias, děkuji, grazie, dziękuję, Շնորհակալի՛ր, dakujem, grātiās tibi agō, obrigado/a, mulțumesc, dankjewel…
We’re always happy to add to this list so, if you’re reading this as a student (or a staff member) in French at Stirling and your language or languages aren’t included here, drop me a line!
