World Poetry Day is celebrated on 21 March, and wa World Poetry Day is celebrated on 21 March, and was declared by UNESCO in 1999, "with the aim of supporting linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heard.”

In celebration of World Poetry Day, I’m sharing a poetry reading by my friend @kolatubosun reading his Yorùbá translation of The Discovery of Rain ‘Ìwárí Òjò’ by Emily R. Grosholz. 

Slide 👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾

The poem is taken from Kọ́lá’s second collection of poetry, Ìgbà Èwe, a bilingual collection, featuring the translated poetry of Emily R. Grosholz, an American philosopher, poet, and professor.

The book contains twenty-six poems with side-by-side English originals, and painting illustrations by writer Yẹ́misí Aribisálà.

Kọ́lá’s books are available for sale on Ebay & Amazon. Go grab your copy 👌🏾👌🏾

Studies show that you can start teaching your chil Studies show that you can start teaching your children a second language as early as their infant years. Aside from constantly speaking it to them, the best way of teaching kids at an early age is by using bilingual books, toys, flashcards etc. ⁣

These bilingual resources are the best teachers when it comes to children, especially in their preschool days. ⁣

Aside from being able to japa at any given time (e Aside from being able to japa at any given time (e.g. when Mr. Blondie wants to send his family & not our own to war), having dual citizenship can make a difference in how children identify with their two cultures. It gives them a sense of where they come from and makes them feel proud of their heritage.⁣⁣

The short answer is…Yes!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I get a lo The short answer is…Yes!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I get a lot of messages from monolingual parents asking for advice and tips on how to teach their child a language they don’t speak themselves. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣The key objective is for your child to find the need to speak the language. You need to find opportunities for him/her to speak the language as naturally as possible.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Below are some advice/tips of how to do that:⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣# 1. Have your child spend time with a native speaker⁣⁣⁣⁣
Research shows that by exposing your child to social interactions, they can have the same level of phonetic recognition as a child who is surrounded by the language their entire lives. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣Interactions with a live person provides your children with social cues that can hold their attention in a way that less dynamic formats, such as audio recordings and DVDs, can.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣Contact a bilingual family member or friend who can spend time with your child. You can set up playdates or excursions in which this person can speak to your child in the target language, thus creating a truly immersive experience.⁣⁣⁣⁣
